4. Giffard Liqueurs non-alcoholic drinks
FRENCH brand Giffard Liqueurs has launched a new range of non-alcoholic drinks.
Aiming to capitalise on the demand for non-alcoholic cocktails, Giffard has launched four new liqueur alternatives, with Elderflower, Grapefruit, Ginger and Pineapple.
The new options have been inspired by the classic range of liqueurs from Giffard and have been made by macerating fruits and plants in wine vinegar to create alternative drink options with a reduced level of sugar.
