A Muddled Thought

Domain De Canton begins with the finest baby Vietnamese ginger that is peeled and cut by hand, then combined with a blend of herbs including Tahitian vanilla beans, and grand champagne cognacs. As it picks up all the flavors of these ingredients, Domain De Canton becomes a near perfect spirit. Domaine De Canton’s unique chemistry allow it to be enjoyed simply over ice while allowing it the freedom to make a great ingredient to inspire new recipes.
