Metté Liqueur Gingembre (50cl, 35%)

A ginger liqueur made by Distillerie Metté in Ribeauvillé, from a natural maceration of fresh ginger with no artificial aromas or colourings. Cane sugar is used and no cold filtration is applied, preserving the aromatic richness and texture. On the nose it shows frank, piquant notes of fresh ginger with soft spice nuances. On the palate the balance is controlled: the liveliness of the ginger meets a light sweetness, while the warmth of the alcohol underlines the spicy character without weighing it down. The texture is supple and the finish warm. It is served chilled, around 8 °C, as a digestif or in original cocktails, and also pairs well with exotic fruit desserts, spiced pastries or lemon-ginger sorbet.
