help Giffard Elderflower Syrup FAQ
How is Giffard Elderflower Syrup different from elderflower liqueur?
The syrup supplies floral sweetness without the alcohol found in liqueurs such as St-Germain. A direct substitution changes a drink's sweetness, strength, and dilution, so the other ingredients may need adjustment.
What drinks work well with Giffard Elderflower Syrup?
It pairs well with sparkling water, lemon, cucumber, mint, apple, and tonic. It can also provide elderflower flavor in an alcohol-free variation on the Hugo spritz.
Who makes Giffard Elderflower Syrup?
It is made by Giffard, a French producer founded in Angers in 1885. The company produces both alcoholic liqueurs and non-alcoholic syrups, so the bottle category matters.
How much elderflower syrup should be added to a sparkling drink?
A small measure is usually enough because the syrup contributes both concentrated floral flavor and sugar. Start with roughly 10 to 15 ml in a glass, add sparkling water or another mixer, and adjust to taste.
