Giffard is the bartender's secret weapon — and one of the most storied liqueur houses in the world. Founded in 1885 when Angers pharmacist Emile Giffard created a crystal-clear mint liqueur called Menthe-Pastille to cool down overheated guests at the neighboring Grand Hotel during a scorching summer heatwave, the response was so overwhelming that Emile converted his pharmacy into a distillery on the spot. Five generations of the Giffard family later, the house now produces over 60 liqueurs and 90 syrups from their Loire Valley facility, using the same commitment to natural ingredients and traditional maceration that started it all. Fruits, flowers, roots, barks, and botanicals are carefully selected and macerated in neutral spirit to extract their fullest aromas, resulting in liqueurs with a vibrancy and authenticity that synthetic alternatives simply cannot match. From the iconic Menthe-Pastille and classic Triple Sec to Wild Peach, Blackcurrant, Lychee, Poire William, and dozens of other expressions loved by bartenders worldwide, every Giffard bottle makes cocktails better.
