Giffard is the French liqueur house bartenders reach for when the drink has to taste like the actual fruit. Emile Giffard, a pharmacist in Angers, steam-distilled a rare mint during the heatwave summer of 1885 to make a cooling tonic for a neighboring hotel, named it Menthe-Pastille, and turned his pharmacy into a distillery that October. Four generations later, Edith and Bruno Giffard still run it from Avrillé outside Angers and still make Menthe-Pastille. Everything is flavored by macerating and distilling fruit, herbs, and spices, which is why the crèmes carry real weight and color in a glass.
