Elixir d’Anvers Belgian Herbal Liqueur 700ml
A historic European herbal liqueur with real depth and authenticity, Elixir d’Anvers delivers a complex balance of spice, citrus, and gentle sweetness. Rich yet refined, it sits stylistically between Chartreuse and traditional amari—a classic digestif with serious cocktail versatility.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced in Antwerp, Belgium, Elixir d’Anvers has been made since 1863, using a closely guarded recipe developed by François-Xavier de Beukelaer.
The liqueur is built from a blend of approximately 32 herbs, spices, and botanicals, including elements like cinnamon, saffron, and other proprietary ingredients.
Production follows a traditional multi-step process:
- Maceration and distillation of botanicals
- Blending with alcohol, water, and sugar
- Aging in old oak casks for several months, which softens and integrates flavors
Bottled at 37% ABV, the result is a liqueur that balances herbal intensity with rounded sweetness and texture.
