Giffard Guava Syrup
Giffard Guava Syrup – Premium Cocktail & Beverage Syrup | Giffard, France
Giffard Guava Syrup is a premium, flavor-forward cocktail syrup from Giffard — one of France's most respected and storied producers of liqueurs, syrups, and bar ingredients, crafting exceptional products for professional bartenders and home enthusiasts since 1885. Giffard's syrups are a staple behind the bars of the world's finest cocktail establishments, prized for their vibrant, true-to-fruit flavor, clean sweetness, and exceptional versatility across a wide range of cocktail and beverage applications.
This guava syrup captures the lush, tropical sweetness of ripe guava — a fruit celebrated for its intensely fragrant, pink-fleshed character that sits somewhere between strawberry, pear, and passion fruit, with a distinctive floral quality and a bright, slightly tart finish. Crafted with natural guava extract and Giffard's signature commitment to authentic flavor, this syrup delivers a vivid tropical profile that elevates cocktails, mocktails, lemonades, sodas, and desserts with minimal effort. The 1L format makes it ideal for high-volume bar use, home bartenders who love to experiment, and anyone who wants a reliable, professional-grade tropical syrup on hand.

How to Use
Giffard Guava Syrup is one of the most versatile tropical syrups in any bar program. Use it to build a Guava Margarita (tequila, Giffard Guava Syrup, fresh lime juice, salt rim) for a tropical twist on a classic, or a Guava Daiquiri (rum, Giffard Guava Syrup, fresh lime juice) for a lush, fruit-forward cocktail. It shines in a Guava Mojito (rum, Giffard Guava Syrup, lime, mint, soda water) or a Tropical Spritz (Giffard Guava Syrup, sparkling water, lime, mint) for a refreshing alcohol-free option. For non-cocktail uses, stir it into lemonade or iced tea, drizzle over yogurt or panna cotta, or use as a dessert sauce over vanilla ice cream or cheesecake. The standard ratio is 1 part syrup to 4–6 parts liquid, adjusted to taste.
