Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liqueur

Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liqueur hails from France, produced by a family-owned company renowned for its quality liqueurs and syrups since 1885. This particular expression, launched in May 2017, isn't an old classic but a more recent innovation. It’s crafted using a blend of fresh pineapples ripened under the Caribbean sun, an infusion of candied pineapples, spices, and a touch of 7-year-old Caribbean rum. The Giffard brand itself began when Emile Giffard, a pharmacist, created the Menthe-Pastille liqueur in Angers, France. A noteworthy aspect of this pineapple liqueur is the careful extraction process from the pineapple's skin, leaves, and flesh, which took over a year of experimentation to perfect, resulting in a product with genuine pineapple flavors balanced by spice and acidity.

Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liqueur offers a vibrant taste of both fresh and candied pineapple, beautifully enhanced with a touch of seven-year-old Caribbean rum and subtle spice. This isn't just a sweet fruit liqueur; it brings genuine complexity with notes of grilled pineapple and a whisper of vanilla, making it a brilliant addition to your home bar. It truly shines in tropical and Tiki-style cocktails, think elevated Daiquiris or Piña Coladas, and can add an intriguing twist to a spritz or even sangria.

Giffard Caribbean Pineapple liqueur offers a heady aroma of ripe, freshly cut pineapple with buttery notes. The palate is a complex blend of fresh and candied pineapple, evolving into warm, flambéed fruit with hints of spice and aged rum. It finishes with lingering notes of sweet, caramelized pineapple and a touch of vanilla.
