Giffard Pink Grapefruit Liqueur 700 ml

Product Information

Fresh Squeezed Blood Orange Juice:you can use fresh squeezed or store-bought blood orange juice, but fresh-squeezed usually tastes best.

We say: Pisco, pineapple and Sauvignon Blanc wine are a match made in heaven, while Suze provides complex underlying gentian bittersweet notes. We say: A bittersweet refreshing drink for a summer's afternoon or an aperitif with grape and peach fruitiness and complexity courtesy of gentian and fresh mint.Vodka– Unflavoured vodka is recommended, but you can use flavoured vodka if you like. This martini works well with citrus-flavoured vodkas such as lemon, lime, or orange. For the best flavour be sure you are using 100% grapefruit juice, not a juice blend for this recipe. After the infusion period, the mixture is strained to remove solid particles, leaving behind a vibrant and flavorful liquid. Finally, a touch of sugar may be added to achieve the desired sweetness. This whole process takes weeks, and sometimes even months. Grapefruit Liqueur:this is key! Instead of using orange liqueur, this recipe calls for Grapefruit liqueur to really bring out the grapefruit flavor. I use Giffard Pink Grapefruit Liqueur, and it is so delicious! I also use it in my grapefruit rose sangria.

Not feeling the booze? No worries, swap out the vodka (or gin) and orange liqueur for seltzer or club soda. Regulations allow cordial producers creative license with not only the spirit and flavoring agent, but also how they’re incorporated. Some add flavoring agents after distillation by one of several methods. Infusion involves steeping the flavor source; maceration entails more aggressive crushing of the flavor components before steeping; percolation pumps water or spirits over the ingredients to extract flavors. Finally, flavor can be added by compounding, simply adding the flavoring extract to the spirit. Heartier flavoring agents such as seeds and flowers may be distilled along with the distillate, often for the second distillation, similar to the gin-making process.
