Giffard Peach Syrup

Giffard Peach Syrup is highly versatile and is frequently used to sweeten classic champagne cocktails like the Bellini, or whiskey-based drinks like the Peach Old Fashioned. Bartenders also love using it to add ripe fruit flavor to iced teas, lemonades, and craft sodas during the summer months.

Yes, Giffard formulates this premium syrup with actual fruit juice and pure cane sugar to capture the authentic flavor of ripe peaches, avoiding the cloying artificial taste found in many lower-quality brands. This dedication to natural ingredients stems from the company's origins as a family-owned French producer established in 1885.

While both are leading French syrup brands, many bartenders note that Giffard's peach syrup tends to have a slightly richer, less synthetic mouthfeel with a flavor profile closer to baked or stewed peaches. Monin often leans toward a sharper, fresher fruit taste, whereas Giffard provides a velvety texture that integrates beautifully into complex mixed drinks.

While the high sugar content acts as a natural preservative, it is highly recommended to refrigerate Giffard Peach Syrup after opening to maintain its optimal flavor and freshness. Once opened and kept in the fridge, it typically retains its peak quality for several months, though you should always check the bottle's label for exact guidance.
