Giffard Falernum Syrup 1L – Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Ingredient (Caribbean Spice & Lime)

Giffard Falernum is a bartender-grade, non-alcoholic syrup that delivers the essential Caribbean flavor profile—bright lime, warm spice, and subtle almond richness. It instantly adds depth, aroma, and authenticity to cocktails without adding alcohol. A foundational ingredient for tiki drinks and an easy upgrade for modern zero-proof cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Giffard, this falernum is part of the brand’s premium syrup range, known for precision and clean flavor expression.

Falernum originated in the Caribbean, particularly Barbados, and is traditionally used as a spiced, citrus-forward cocktail modifier. Giffard’s version captures the classic profile—lime, clove, almond, and ginger—in a fully non-alcoholic format, making it highly versatile across both classic and contemporary cocktail programs.

Unlike liqueur-based falernum, this syrup allows for greater control over sweetness and alcohol levels, making it especially useful for low-ABV and zero-proof applications.
