Giffard Spritz Non-Alcoholic Liqueur
Giffard Spritz Non-Alcoholic Liqueur proves that a proper aperitivo hour doesn't require alcohol. At 0.00% ABV in a 700mL bottle, this French aperitivo delivers the bright, bitter, thirst-quenching character of a classic spritz — with zero proof.
The recipe starts with pink grapefruit zest macerated in French white wine vinegar, balanced with gentian extract and sweetened with sugar beet sugar. The result is naturally gluten-free and vegan, with just 146 kcal per 100mL. It comes from the house of Giffard — founded in 1885 in Angers, France, by pharmacist Émile Giffard and still family-owned and run five generations later.
Tasting Notes
The nose is all fresh, bright grapefruit — sunny and zesty. The palate strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and tartness, with juicy grapefruit at the core and the gentle, lingering bitterness of gentian on the finish. It tastes like a spritz should: refreshing, appetizing, and properly bitter.
