Giffard Caramel Toffee (Caramel Toffee) bar liqueur /18%/0.7l

Giffard & Cie is a renowned producer of liqueurs and bar syrups based in Avrillé in western France. The company was founded in 1885 by Émile Giffard in nearby Angers.

Émile, a graduate of the Pharmacy Department at the University of Poitiers and owner of a chemist's, experimented a lot with peppermint and in 1885, during an unusually hot year, he developed the formula for Menthe-Pastille liqueur, suitable for serving both before and after a meal. The success of Menthe-Pastille was so great that it prompted Giffard to end his career as a chemist and buy a small distillery. Today, the fifth generation of the family manages the company, whose offer has grown over the years to over a hundred products. Key positions are held by Émile's great-great-grandchildren, Bruno Giffard and his sister Edith.

The Giffard Caramel Toffee presented here is one of several so-called Modern Liqueurs. Sweet in taste, a combination of caramel, toffee, milk fudge and a bit of vanilla. Together with Giffard we recommend serving it with ice or as a component of a Caramel Nut cocktail:

      15ml Caramel Toffee Liqueur;

      15ml Giffard Crème de Cacao (Brun);

      150ml vanilla ice cream;

        20ml whipped cream.
