Authenticity, craftsmanship, tradition and top quality: these are the main assets and values of Elixir d'Anvers . The golden yellow herbal liqueur from Antwerp is still distilled according to the same recipe as in 1863, the year in which, according to tradition, François-Xavier de Beukelaer put the finishing touches to his delicious invention.

In this coffee table book , professional Antwerp artist Tanguy Ottomer takes you to the distillery: to the production hall where Elixir d'Anvers is distilled, and to the company archives where a colorful and impressive collection of historical promotional material is kept. The history of the founding family de Beukelaer is tangible. Today, the company in all its nostalgic splendor is owned by the Nolet de Brauwere family, who closely monitor the quality of the product, while at the same time preparing the brand and the company for a bright future. That it looks promising is clear from the testimonials and the recipes of Elixir d'Anvers fans from the world of gastronomy: chocolatiers Erik Goossens and Dominique Persoone, cocktail creator Beka Gogeshvili and chef Seppe Nobels.
