Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon is a Liqueur from the Giffard Liqueurs Collection brand hailing from France.

What is Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon?

Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon is a premium French apricot liqueur that captures the essence of sun-ripened Roussillon apricots, known for their intense flavor and aroma. Interestingly, the Roussillon region, where these apricots are grown, is one of the sunniest areas in France, boasting over 300 days of sunshine per year, which contributes to the fruit's exceptional sweetness and complexity.

Why do we love Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon?

Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon stands out for its exceptional depth of flavor, crafted from apricots grown in France's sun-drenched Roussillon region. Unlike many fruit liqueurs that rely on artificial flavoring, this golden elixir captures the essence of ripe, juicy apricots through a meticulous maceration process, resulting in a remarkably authentic taste that elevates both classic and contemporary cocktails.

How do you drink Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon?

Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon shines in refreshing summer cocktails, particularly those with a light, fruity profile or as a delightful twist in classic champagne-based drinks. This apricot liqueur also pairs wonderfully with grilled peaches or nectarines for a sophisticated dessert, and can be enjoyed neat or over ice as a digestif, allowing its rich, sun-ripened apricot flavors to take center stage.

Nose: Ripe apricots dominate, with hints of peach and nectarine. A subtle floral note reminiscent of orange blossoms lingers in the background. There's a touch of honey sweetness and a faint almond-like aroma.

Palate: Intensely fruity with a smooth, syrupy texture. Fresh apricot flavors burst forward, balanced by a gentle acidity. Nuances of candied orange peel and vanilla add depth. The sweetness is prominent but not cloying, allowing the natural fruit flavors to shine.

Finish: Medium to long, with the apricot flavors slowly fading. A pleasant warmth develops, accompanied by a subtle spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish leaves a lingering fruity sweetness on the palate, with a slight tangy note that invites another sip.

Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon is crafted using ripe, juicy apricots from France's Roussillon region, which are macerated in neutral alcohol to extract their vibrant flavor and aroma. This process captures the essence of fresh apricots, resulting in a liqueur that beautifully balances sweetness and acidity, making it a favorite among bartenders for cocktails that require a true-to-fruit apricot flavor.

  • Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon liqueur is made with a rare variety of apricot called "Rouge du Roussillon," which is so delicate it can only be transported within a 50-mile radius of where it's grown in southern France.
  • The liqueur's creator, Émile Giffard, was originally a pharmacist who developed the recipe in 1885 as a digestive aid, believing in the medicinal properties of apricots.
  • Despite its rich, fruity flavor, Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon contains 30% less sugar than most fruit liqueurs, allowing the natural tartness of the apricots to shine through.
  • Main Ingredient: Apricots
    Country of Origin: France

      Perfect!

      I was looking for an Apricot Liqueur for apricot smoked old fashions. I couldn't find anything locally where the apricot taste came through when making the drink. Giffard's did.

      Liquid sunshine on your tongue

      I can't stress this enough - this liqueur is absolutely amazing. It truly tastes like plump, sun-drenched, tree-ripened apricots and when added to a drink, takes it entirely to The Next Level.

      Yes it's expensive but yes you should get it. Trust me, the unknown reviewer who loves this liqueur.

      Here's the drink I make with it:

      Fresh orange juice

      Fresh lemon juice

      Vodka

      Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon

      I'm not a bartender or mixologist so I can't tell you proper ounces and stuff but just know the citrus is Strong, so use your best judgment.

      HUGE shout out to the Oakside Bar and Grille in Big Bear Lake, CA for this drink! Visit them and ask for the Altitude Paradise, which is what the above recipe is for, then enjoy your liquid sunshine amongst the pines.

      Cheers, friend!

      Sir May I have another

      What an amazing treat. My first experience having any booze of this quality and now I just kick myself for not trying it sooner. So unbelievably delicious. I love it neat with lime.

      Thank you Anders Erickson for teaching me about these delicious treats.
