Giffard’s Piment d’Espelette Liqueur is crafted from the famed Espelette chili pepper of French Basque country—a mildly spicy, fragrant pepper with more character than heat. Giffard captures its essence in this golden-hued liqueur, combining sweetness, warmth, and aromatic complexity in a way that’s both surprising and endlessly mixable.

The flavor is layered: soft chili spice, dried fruit, citrus peel, and a touch of paprika-like savoriness. It’s not mouth-burning—just warm, tingling, and exotic. Use it to spice up Margaritas, add depth to a Bloody Mary, or bring heat to stirred drinks like a spicy Negroni variation. It also plays beautifully in food-friendly applications, like glaze for grilled meats or a drizzle over citrus-forward desserts.

A creative, chef-driven liqueur that turns heads in cocktails and makes your bar feel just a little more adventurous.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Skurnik Wines has to say about this wine:

Red chile liqueur produced by Giffard in Angers, FrancePiment d’Espelette is a red chile pepper grown only in the Basque region of France; it is the only French spice with APO/DPO recognition, limited to ten villages in the southeast of the country.Whole, fresh espelette peppers are macerated for four weeks in sugar beet distillate and additionally fortified with aged rhum agricole from Martinique.An herbaceous nose kicks into assertive chili spice on a warming mid-palate complemented by hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and anise; a lingering intensity slowly tapers to subtle notes of hot cocoa punctuated with sharp grassiness.40% ABV
