Giffard Rhubarb Liqueur is a French fruit liqueur made from both green and red rhubarb, delivering a lively blend of tartness and sweetness. At 20% ABV, it offers stewed rhubarb and fruit-jam character, vibrant acidity, and floral or candy-like aromas. Very mixable, it shines in cocktails but is also interesting enough to sip or drizzle over desserts.
