Giffard Curaçao Triple Sec (Premium) bar liqueur /40%/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 Curaçao Triple Sec presented here is one of nine items that make up the Giffard Premium Liqueurs series. It is created as a blend of distillates obtained from sweet and bitter oranges. In taste, a combination of orange and grapefruit, a trace of eucalyptus and a pinch of pepper. Together with Giffard, we recommend it as a component of the Orange Cooler cocktail:

  50ml Curacao Triple Sec;

  10ml Giffard Clément Créole Shrubb;

  80ml ginger ale.
