Xanté Sparkling

Xanté is the Swedish pear-cognac liqueur that once made pear an unlikely star of the cocktail glass. The sparkling version gives the same distinctive flavour a festive, bubbly twist.

    Xanté is best known for its pear liqueur, but this sparkling edition takes that same pear sweetness and makes it light and bubbly.

    Expert's Description

    The Original Xanté Sparkling & Pear is a Sparkling Wine from Germany with an alcohol content of 10%.

    The drink is built around the pear's natural sweetness and aroma, combined with fresh bubbles, making it a light and approachable sparkling drink rather than a classic, dry Sekt. Its lower alcohol content makes it a good choice for relaxed gatherings.

About Xanté Sparkling

Xanté blends French cognac with pear brandy and a touch of spice, a combination that made the brand a Scandinavian bar classic from the 1990s onward. The sparkling variant is meant as a lighter, more festive way into the same flavour profile.

History & Background

Xanté was developed in Sweden by what was then the V&S Group, the same house behind Absolut Vodka, as part of a broader push into cognac- and fruit-based liqueurs in the 1990s. Pear was chosen as cognac's counterpart because its gentle sweetness balances the spirit's strength without drowning it out.

Production & Style

French cognac is blended with distilled pear brandy and a light spicing, after which the sparkling version has carbonation added for a light, bubbly texture.

Signature Style

Fruity, Spiced, Sparkling
Ripe pear and warm spice meet cognac's round sweetness, lifted by the bubbles into a lighter, more refreshing experience than the still version.
