French Ginger, Cognac Depth
The first Canton was a Chinese ginger liqueur of the 1990s; the bottle on today's shelf is its French reimagining, launched in New York in 2007 — fresh baby ginger given the depth of aged Cognac and rounded with vanilla and honey. It took Double Gold and Best of Show in its category at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, per trade coverage, and became a modern bartender staple for adding clean ginger heat without raw bite.
