Giffard Mangalore (Indian Spices) /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, 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 allowed 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.

Giffard Manglore is a family creation inspired by India. It is a spicy liqueur produced with the participation of spices, mainly cinnamon, cardamom and chili. In taste, the spiciness of the aforementioned spices is balanced slightly by citrus and floral notes and a bit of cane sugar. Together with Giffard, we recommend it as a component of the Rouge Pastille cocktail:

 20ml Menthe-Pastille;

10ml Mangalore;

 10ml elderberry syrup;

  80ml cranberry juice.
