It all started because there was a heat wave in France in the summer of 1885. Emile Giffard, a pharmacist living in Angers in the Loire Valley, concocted a white mint liqueur which he promptly put to the test, offering it to guests at the local hotel as relief against the heat. Having found instant success, Emile turned the pharmacy into a distillery and today, five generations on, the business is still in the family and now produces 85 different syrups derived from plants and fruits and ten different fruit cordials, including this one, a grapefruit liqueur made by extracting the essential oils found in grapefruit peels through steam distillation. It has aromas of freshly squeezed fruit, and the juicy citrus notes on the palate play with the natural bitterness of the grapefruit.
