Giffard Roussillon Apricots Liqueur South of France 750ml

Giffard · Roussillon Apricot Liqueur · France · 25% ABV · 750ml

Giffard Roussillon Apricot Liqueur captures ripe stone-fruit character with rich sweetness and a lively tart edge. Made with Rouge du Roussillon apricots, it brings a distinctive fruit note to a cocktail or a small pour over ice.

Producer & Fruit

Giffard & Cie produces this liqueur in Avrillé, near Angers in France’s Loire Valley. The Rouge du Roussillon apricot variety is prized for its delicate, juicy flesh and aromatic character. After harvest, the fruit’s flesh and skin are macerated to capture their flavor and color.

Tasting Notes

Ripe apricot aromas open into fresh green notes and hints of sweet spice, vanilla and caramel. Baked apricot and caramelized fruit lead on the palate, with subtle almond and honeyed tones. A tart, apricot-compote-like edge balances the sweetness, while the medium-length finish carries honey, dried apricot and gentle citrus acidity.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Enjoy a small pour neat or over ice, or use it to add stone-fruit flavor and body to cocktails. Try a Charlie Chaplin with apricot liqueur, sloe gin and lime juice, or combine with sparkling wine and a touch of lemon for a lighter serve.

Suggested pairings include almond tart, fresh goat cheese and dark chocolate. Vanilla and caramel desserts also complement its fruit-forward character.
