Giffard Framboise (Raspberry) Liqueur - 700ml

Product Information

Prior to Prohibition and at the turn of the 20th century, stage productions on Broadway were the highlight of fashionable society. The flavor of framboise liqueur can be quite sweet, but it also has a tartness that comes from the raspberries. The raspberries are macerated in the alcohol for a period of time, which gives the drink its characteristic raspberry flavor.

Whether you’re looking for something light and refreshing or packed with bold flavors, this ingredient has it all! Creme de framboise is a sweet, raspberry liqueur made from macerating raspberries in alcohol and blending them with sugar. On the one hand, some people believe that framboise should always be served cold, and that refrigerating it will help to preserve its flavor. A lovely, plump jamminess from the outset, before a delicate tartness and fruit complexity develop on the palate.But they’re also versatile, forming an essential building block in cocktails such as the Kir Royale and the Cosmopolitan, as well as current favourite, the Aperol Spritz. Almost every ingredient you’ve ever heard of has made it into a liqueur at some point – whether it’s a fruit, a spice, or something more outlandish.

Add some fresh fruit slices like raspberries, strawberries or oranges for an extra bit of sweetness and color. The unique flavour profile associated with creme de framboise makes it an ideal ingredient for both classic cocktails and modern concoctions alike. Creme de framboise can be enjoyed alone over ice or combined with tonic water for a light summery drink that won’t leave you too buzzed.

Perhaps mix up a classic gimlet recipe with some added creaminess from egg whites blended together with creme de framboise for an extra twist on this timeless cocktail favorite! In either case, framboise comes from flavored brandy or from other liquor using distilled fruit juice. They are blended here on our farm so that we capture the full intensity of their juices and flavours.

For those who prefer tart flavors try adding some lime juice or grapefruit juice into your drink – this will add some zestiness while still allowing the raspberry notes to come through nicely in the background. When selecting what drinks you should make using creme de framboise, consider your taste preferences first and foremost. Your options for framboise substitutes range from other fruit liqueurs to fruit syrups to raspberry syrups you make yourself.
