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 liqueur made from the flesh of fresh mangoes. it is made using a combination of ripe and underripe Kent mangos from South America that have macerated in alcohol for roughly a month, then sweetened with sugar beet sugar. The vibrant fruit notes are balanced by a hint of mango pit biterness.
