A liqueur from Giffard of Angers, France — the family house crafting liqueurs since 1885 — made from the maceration of ginger roots balanced by a touch of vanilla, orange flower water, and coriander. Ginger is part of the Zingiberaceae family, which also includes turmeric, cardamom, and galangal; native to Maritime Southeast Asia, it was one of the first spices exported from Asia, arriving in Europe with the spice trade and used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Lactose-free, gluten-free, vegan, and preservative-free.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Straw colored.
Nose: A balance between the power of ginger and coriander, the sweetness of vanilla, and the vivacity of orange blossom.
Palate: Gentle at first, then the spices quickly intensify the peppery, slightly citrusy taste of ginger — playing on the contrasts of fire (spices), sweetness (sugar), power (alcohol), and lightness (freshness of the acidity).
How to Use: Pure on crushed ice or in cocktails — a Penicillin partner, a spicy Mule, or a Dark 'n' Stormy upgrade.
Awards: Bronze Medal, Bartenders Brand Awards 2022; Silver Medal, Internationaler Spirituosen Wettbewerb (ISW) Germany 2008.
ABV: 25% (50 Proof)
