After sampling the Giffard Pamplemousse I tried another from a major liqueur maker. Marie Brizard has been around since 1755, but going by this example is not up to the quality of Giffard. The Giffard grapefruit liqueur I tried was excellent with an intense grapefruit flavour and just the right amount of sweetness. This one from Marie Brizard is not as good. The grapefruit flavour is much less and this brings the sweetness much more forward. Definitely prefer the Giffard. 7/10
Brizard makes a large variety of fruit (and other) flavoured liqueurs: mango, orange, pear, peach, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, tangerine, pineapple, green apple, lychee, black currant, rhubarb, passion fruit, watermelon, vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate, ginger, anise and peppermint.
