Giffard Syrups

The Giffard Syrup Range: France's Reference for Cocktail Syrups

Giffard has been making syrups and liqueurs in Avrillé, France since 1885 — five generations of the same family, working with the same principle: macerate real fruit, herbs, and flowers in 100% pure French sugar beet syrup, never use artificial flavouring, never cut corners. Today the Giffard syrup range is the reference choice for serious cocktail bars in Paris, London, Tokyo, New York — and across Australia.

3Two1 Drinks is the Australian distributor for the complete Giffard syrup range. Every bottle ships from our Australian warehouses direct to venues, bottle shops across the country or through your favourite wholesalers.

Why bartenders choose Giffard

Three things separate the Giffard syrup range from cheaper commercial alternatives:

1. Traditional cold maceration. Giffard macerates real fruit, herbs, and flowers in cool conditions over weeks — preserving the aromatic oils that disappear under heat-processed industrial syrups. The result is fruit flavour that tastes like the fruit, not like sweet-flavoured sugar water.
2. 100% French sugar beet syrup. No corn syrup, no maltodextrin, no artificial sweeteners. Just pure sugar beet syrup, which carries flavour cleanly and dissolves predictably in cold liquids — critical for shaken and stirred service.
3. No preservatives, no artificial colouring. The shorter ingredient lists pay off both in flavour and in modern menu narratives. Bartenders running natural-wine or no-additive-spirits programs can sell Giffard with a straight face.

Frequently asked questions

What's the shelf life of Giffard syrups?

Unopened, Giffard syrups are shelf-stable for approximately 24 months from production. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 6 months for best flavour. The Glass bottles are designed for active bar service.

Are Giffard syrups vegan?

Yes — the Giffard syrup range is vegan-friendly. The products contain no animal derivatives.

Do Giffard syrups contain alcohol?

No. The Giffard syrup range is non-alcoholic, which makes them ideal for both cocktails and mocktails / NA programmes. (The Giffard liqueur range — sold separately — does contain alcohol.)

What's the difference between Giffard syrups and Monin?

Both are reputable French producers, but Giffard uses cold maceration of real fruit and longer steeping times, which tends to produce a fresher, more authentic fruit profile. Monin syrups are often heat-extracted or use flavour concentrates, giving a sweeter, more uniform flavour. Most craft cocktail bartenders prefer Giffard for serious cocktail work; Monin is more common in coffee-shop chains.

Do you ship Giffard syrups across Australia?

Yes — 3Two1 Drinks ships Australia-wide. Standard delivery is typically 3-7 business days; bulk orders for licensed venues are shipped via dedicated freight on quote.

Where is Giffard made?

At Giffard's distillery in Avrillé, just outside Angers in France's Loire Valley. The company has been family-owned and operated at the same site since 1885 — currently in its fifth generation.
