Giffard Description
Giffard liqueurs are made with tradition and quality, blending established processes like slow maceration, with cutting-edge methods, in order to achieve the uncompromised taste of whole, natural fruits, herbs and spices. Since 1885, four generations of the Giffard family have worked hard to continuously provide the world with quality liqueurs and syrups.
Violet flowers have long been prized for their mesmerizing perfume and signature color. Giffard utilizes a two-step process with the violet plant, infusing the fresh, fragrant petals and steam distilling the complex and aromatic leaves to create this classic cocktail staple.
