In 2007, John Cooper revived the name and idea by producing a new ginger liqueur called Canton Ginger & Cognac Liqueur. Canton Ginger Liqueur follows a new recipe and is produced in Jarnac, France. The new formula is 28 percent alcohol (56 proof), is golden in color, and is packaged in a bamboo-shaped bottle. It contains syrup made from crystallized Vietnamese baby ginger, XO Grand Champagne and VSOP cognacs, orange blossom honey from Provence, and vanilla.
Canton Ginger & Cognac Liqueur was released in New York City in August 2007. By 2008 the name of the liqueur had changed once again, to Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur.
The liqueur won Double Gold Medal (Best of Show) in the herbal/botanical liqueur category at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It won Best of Show in the 2007-2008 World Beverage Competition.
Oprah Magazine, December 2008
As refreshing on the rocks as in cocktails, Domaine de Canton Liqueur has an unexpectedly vibrant ginger flavor. It's made with Vietnamese baby ginger and cognac, and comes in a bottle that looks like an architectural masterpiece.
New York Post, September 2007
What's remarkable about Canton is that it's almost impossible to turn it into something that doesn't taste wonderful.
