Giffard Syrup Cucumber 100 cl

Cool, green and refreshing - Giffard's syrup flavoured with cucumber captures the vegetable's crisp cleanness in a bottle just as at home in a summer cocktail as in a glass of ice-cold soda.

Expert's Description

Giffard's Cucumber Syrup is a French syrup flavoured with cucumber, from the French syrup and liqueur producer Giffard.

Giffard is a French, family-owned liqueur and syrup house from Angers in the Loire Valley, founded in 1885 by the pharmacist and herbalist Émile Giffard, who invented a white mint liqueur with digestive properties. Its success led him to convert his pharmacy into a distillery, and today - five generations later - the house is still family-run, producing more than 60 fruit and herbal liqueurs and syrups for bartenders and baristas around the world. The syrups are made from pure sugar (sucrose), water and natural flavourings without preservatives, with shelf life ensured through pasteurisation. The range is developed to deliver a clean, natural taste without any artificial aftertaste - equally suited to cocktails, mocktails, coffee and desserts.

Taste

The nose is fresh and green with a clear hint of cucumber skin. The palate is lightly sweet and refreshing, carrying the crisp, clean character of both cucumber peel and flesh, giving drinks a summery, almost cooling edge.
