Giffard Vanille de Madagascar Liqueur- 750ml

Description

Giffard Vanille de Madagascar Liqueur is a French vanilla liqueur made with natural aromas of Madagascan vanilla. It delivers a pure vanilla seed flavor, fragrant vanilla pod richness, and a lightly spicy finish that keeps it from tasting flat or candy-like. Bottled at 20% ABV, it is useful in coffee drinks, dessert cocktails, tropical recipes, and citrus cocktails that need a softer aromatic edge.

Producer

Giffard was founded in Angers, France in 1885 by pharmacist Émile Giffard, who first created a mint liqueur before the family expanded into classic liqueurs, fruit crèmes, syrups, and cocktail ingredients. The producer remains family-run and continues to focus on precise French liqueurs made for consistent bar use, from citrus and mint to orchard fruit and dessert flavors.

Cocktail Suggestions

Giffard Vanille de Madagascar Liqueur adds smooth vanilla depth to an Espresso Martini with vodka and fresh espresso. Its vanilla seed and pod notes round out the coffee’s roasted bitterness, creating a richer cocktail without needing a heavy cream element.

It also works well in a Vanilla Daiquiri with white rum and fresh lime juice. The rum gives the drink structure, lime keeps it bright, and Giffard’s lightly spiced vanilla brings a warmer, more aromatic finish than simple syrup alone.
