  • Tasting Notes:
    The aroma is strong but mellow, fruity, and penetrating. The taste is lemony and flowery, with note of camphor or eucalyptus due to cineole in the essential oil; it is pungent and smoky, with a warm, bittersweet note, yet is also clean and fresh.
  • Combines well with:
    apples, oranges, pears, coffee

  • Cocktail Recipe: Pear & Cardamom Sidecar
    • 3 Cardamoms
    • 25ml Xante
    • 25ml Cointreau
    • 25ml Lemon juice
    Crush the cardamoms and muddle with the rest of the ingredients, shake over ice and double strain in to a martini glass.
