Giffard Triple Sec Liter

Description

Giffard Triple Sec is a French orange liqueur made from bitter orange extracts. Sweet candied orange, citrus peel, and a light floral aroma lead into a delicately sweet palate with a clean bitter-orange finish. Bottled at 25% ABV, it is a practical home bar bottle for Margaritas, Cosmopolitans, Sidecars, White Ladies, and other citrus-driven cocktails.

Producer

Giffard was founded in Angers, France in 1885 by pharmacist Émile Giffard, who first created a mint liqueur before the family expanded into a broad range of classic liqueurs, syrups, and cocktail ingredients. The producer remains family-run and is especially known for French fruit, herb, and citrus liqueurs designed for reliable bar use.

Cocktail Suggestions

Giffard Triple Sec is a natural fit for a Margarita with tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave or simple syrup. Its orange sweetness rounds out the lime and agave, while the bitter-orange finish helps the drink stay bright instead of cloying.

It also works well in a Sidecar with Cognac and fresh lemon juice. Giffard’s orange peel character connects the brandy and citrus, giving the cocktail a clean, classic structure with enough sweetness to balance the lemon.
