Giffard Rose Liqueur
Giffard Rose Liqueur is a French specialty liqueur crafted by infusing delicate rose buds — the "queen of the garden" — at 16% ABV (32 proof), and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Made in Angers in France's Loire Valley, where Émile Giffard founded the distillery in 1885, Giffard Rose belongs to the house's specialty range of whole-natural-ingredient liqueurs. The infusion captures the soft, floral essence of fresh rose with a layered, elegant complexity — no heady perfume character, just refined aromatic depth. It has been made by the Giffard family for five generations.
Tasting notes (official, Giffard): light orange-pink with peach reflections; intense fresh flowers and enticing light sweetness on the nose; elegant, round, floral flavour with a note of sweet citrus on the finish.
Why buy Giffard Rose? Because it is the bartender's shortcut to floral elegance — a rosy affair in spritzes, a floral lift for gin cocktails, and a natural partner for Champagne and desserts. Explore the liqueur collection, the Giffard brand collection, and all spirits.
