Hi
Xante (Xanté Original Poire au Cognac) is a very beatyful liquer imported by
the Swedish government-owned distrubutor-manufacturer "Vin & Sprit".
XANTÉ was composed by Richard Heinrich, masterblender of Maison Heinrich
Liquoristerie Artisanale. It is a young, fresh cognac från Distillerie des
Moisans in Sireul, Cognac, blended with extract from pears from the Liége.
Is is also a very versatile product when mixed in drinks, I prefer it straight
with coffee or as a coffedrink mixed with coffee and a layer of cream on top.
As a bartender I have also used it in certain after-dinner cocktails. But the
most popular drink in Sweden with Xante is "Lennart"...1 part Xante, some
roses limejuice and fill upp with Ginger Ale, in a highballglass, garnish with
lime....terrific!
Try also to contact Vin & Sprit for more information in English.
