Canton (liqueur)

Hey kiddo! Have you ever heard of a special kind of drink called Canton? It's a type of liqueur that's made with ginger root.

So you know how ginger is a really strong and spicy flavor? Well, Canton liqueur is made by taking a lot of ginger and soaking it in alcohol. Then they add in some sugar and other flavors to balance out the spiciness.

The alcohol helps to bring out the spicy flavors of the ginger and makes it more potent. But don't worry, it's not too strong for you to drink. Kids can't drink alcohol anyways!

Some people like to drink Canton liqueur straight up or mixed into cocktails. It's a great way to add some spicy and sweet flavor to your drink.

So there you have it, Canton liqueur is a special drink made with ginger and alcohol that's great for adding some extra flavor to your drinks!
