750ml & 50 Proof
Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur is a Liqueur from the Giffard Liqueurs Collection brand hailing from France.
What is Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur?
Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur is a rich and velvety chocolate liqueur that blends the intense flavors of both dark and milk chocolate, creating a versatile spirit perfect for cocktails or sipping neat. Interestingly, despite its decadent chocolate profile, this liqueur is actually made using cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast, which are carefully selected and roasted to achieve the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness in the final product.
Why do we love Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur?
Giffard Crème de Cacao stands out for its intense, authentic chocolate flavor derived from premium cocoa beans sourced from West Africa and South America. Unlike many mass-produced chocolate liqueurs, Giffard uses a traditional maceration process and avoids artificial flavors or colors, resulting in a rich, natural taste that elevates classic cocktails like the Brandy Alexander or Grasshopper.
How do you drink Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur?
Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur shines in rich, creamy cocktails and adds depth to spirit-forward drinks, though it can also be savored neat or on the rocks for a decadent after-dinner treat. This versatile liqueur is perfect for cozy winter evenings, pairing beautifully with desserts like tiramisu or chocolate truffles, but it can also lend a touch of indulgence to iced summer cocktails when you're craving something sweet and refreshing.

Nose: Rich cocoa beans dominate, reminiscent of opening a fresh tin of dark chocolate powder. Subtle vanilla and roasted coffee notes lurk beneath. A hint of almond extract adds complexity.
Palate: Velvety texture coats the mouth. Bittersweet chocolate flavors lead, followed by a wave of creamy milk chocolate. Nutty undertones of hazelnut and walnut emerge. A touch of caramel sweetness balances the cocoa bitterness.
Finish: Long-lasting and warming. Dark chocolate lingers, gradually fading to a pleasant cocoa powder dryness. Faint notes of vanilla and toasted nuts persist. A subtle alcoholic warmth provides a gentle reminder of its liqueur nature.
Giffard Crème de Cacao Liqueur is crafted by macerating high-quality cocoa beans in neutral alcohol, then blending this infusion with vanilla and other natural flavors. The production process stands out for its use of both white and dark cocoa beans, which gives the liqueur a rich, complex chocolate flavor profile that balances sweetness with subtle bitter notes.
