Description
Giffard Non-Alcoholic Elderflower redefines what a non-alcoholic liqueur can be. Inspired by Giffard’s classic elderflower liqueur, this zero-proof expression is crafted using a proprietary maceration process that extracts maximum aromatic depth while maintaining balance, complexity, and restraint.
Rather than relying on simple flavoring or excessive sweetness, wild elderflowers are gently infused using wine vinegar as a natural solvent. This technique allows the floral aromatics to fully express themselves while delivering a refined acidity that mirrors the structure of traditional liqueurs. The result is a non-alcoholic ingredient that behaves like a true cocktail component rather than a syrup.
On the palate, Elderflower is delicately floral with notes of dried blossoms, fresh lychee, and soft citrus. The acidity is present but controlled, creating lift without sharpness. Compared to syrups, it contains significantly less sugar, allowing bartenders and home mixologists to use higher volumes without overpowering a drink.
Designed to be mixed, Giffard Non-Alcoholic Elderflower shines in spritzes, Collins-style drinks, modern sours, and floral aperitifs. It pairs beautifully with non-alcoholic spirits, sparkling wine alternatives, kombucha, or soda water.
This expression is part of Giffard’s new generation of non-alcoholic liqueurs, products that prioritize adult flavor, cocktail versatility, and sensory experience. From glassware to garnish, Elderflower invites the same ritual and care as its alcoholic counterpart.
Whether used as a base or accent, Giffard Non-Alcoholic Elderflower offers sophistication without compromise, delivering aroma, balance, and structure for today’s mindful drinker.

History
It all began in 1885. Emile Giffard was a pharmacist with an inventive, curious nature and the palate of a gourmand. In the scorching summer, in the small Loire Valley town of Angers, France, he was studying the digestive and cooling properties of mint. Giffard’s research resulted in the invention of a clear mint liqueur, steam-distilled from the Mitcham variety of peppermint. As delicious as it was refreshing, the liqueur was immediately received with enthusiasm from the townspeople of Angers. Emile called his elixir Menthe Pastille after the mint candies that were famout at the time.
Giffard parlayed the success of Menthe Pastille into a company and began creating liqueurs and syrups from the rich bounty of local fruits and botanicals as well as the exotic spices and herbs that were brought in by ship on the Loire River from ports around the world. Five generations later, Giffard is still owned and operated by the same family who maintain tradition and quality for all of its products.
