Giffard Pamplemousse Rose is a pink grapefruit liqueur bottled at 16% ABV, from Giffard, the fourth-generation family-owned liqueur house in France's Loire Valley.
It is a 100% natural fruit crème made by the maceration of pink grapefruit, sweetened with French beet sugar, prized by bartenders for its intense, natural fruit and lack of artificial bitterness.
It shows an intense aroma of grapefruit juice, slightly zesty and floral, with a bittersweet grapefruit-marmalade flavour, a good balance of bitterness, acidity and fruit, and a zesty finish.
It won a Silver Medal at the 2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Its lower strength makes it a natural cocktail modifier for Palomas and spritzes.

How to Enjoy It
Giffard Pamplemousse Rose makes a superb Paloma: build tequila, a splash of the liqueur and fresh lime over ice and top with soda water and a pinch of salt. Try the Pamp' Style, combining it with raspberry syrup, lemon juice and sparkling wine, or a simple spritz with prosecco and soda. It adds brightness to a gin and tonic, a Hemingway Daiquiri or a Greyhound. Pair it with ceviche, seafood salads and goat cheese. For a party, chill the bottle and set out small glasses, or batch a pitcher of the signature cocktail ahead of time so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays, and a small pour after dinner is an easy way to end the evening on a sweet note. For brunch, top it with sparkling wine for a grapefruit mimosa. Keep the bottle in the refrigerator after opening to preserve its fresh fruit.
