About Teisseire
Teisseire is one of the oldest syrup brands in the world — the company was founded in 1720 in Grenoble, Isère, by Pierre Teisseire, originally as a producer of liqueurs and flavoured drinks for the Alpine market. The Grenoble location was commercially significant: the city sat at the junction of trade routes through the Alps, giving access to alpine herbs, fruits and the fruit orchards of the Chartreuse and Vercors valleys. The brand became synonymous with the French practice of drinking diluted fruit syrups — sirop de fruit diluted with still or sparkling water in a ratio of approximately 1:6 to 1:8 — which remains one of the most culturally distinctive French beverage habits, consumed across all age groups from childhood onwards. Teisseire is now owned by Refresco Gerber, a European beverage manufacturer, but retains its Grenoble identity. The current range uses a 60cl resealable metal canister (bidon) made from 100% infinitely recyclable metal, positioned on environmental grounds.
Classic Fruit Syrups — 60cl Range
The core Teisseire range covers the complete French syrup repertoire. Teisseire Apricot 60cl: apricot syrup (abricot) — used diluted in water, also in cocktails and as a flavouring for yogurt and rice pudding. Teisseire Clémentine 60cl: citrus syrup from clementine fruit. Teisseire Grenadine 60cl: grenadine is the emblematic French syrup — in France, commercial grenadine is typically made from strawberry, cherry and red currant juice with natural red colour (rather than pomegranate, as the name suggests), producing the vivid pink-red colour. Used in Monaco (beer + grenadine), Tomate (pastis + grenadine) and children's water dilutions. Teisseire Organic Grenadine Bio 60cl: certified organic version using fruit juice from organically grown fruit. Teisseire Tropical 60cl: an orange and passion fruit blend. Other flavours: Blackcurrant, Cherry, Citrus, Kiwi, Lemon, Lime, Mango, Spearmint, Mint Glaciale, Multifruit, Passion Fruit, Peach, Pink Grapefruit, Raspberry, Strawberry and Strawberry Mojito 60cl. Teisseire Violet 60cl: violet (violette) syrup — a traditional southern French floral syrup associated with Toulouse and the confected violet tradition of Languedoc.
Mojito and Tea-Infused Syrups
Teisseire Mojito 60cl: a non-alcoholic mojito-flavour syrup combining mint, lime and citrus — mixed with still or sparkling water to reproduce the flavour profile of the classic Cuban cocktail without alcohol, or used as a mixer with rum. Teisseire Strawberry Mojito 60cl: the strawberry-mint variant. Teisseire Green Tea Mint Syrup 50cl and Teisseire Black Tea Peach Syrup 50cl: the Teisseire tea-based syrups are made from real brewed tea leaves and contain 30% less sugar than standard syrups, with no artificial colouring — a premium sub-range positioning syrup dilutions as an alternative to iced tea. Both come in a 50cl format (the standard tea syrups are slightly smaller than the 60cl fruit syrups).
Sugar-Free Zero Range — 60cl and 1.3L
The Teisseire Zéro (zero-sugar, zero-calorie) range uses sweeteners in place of sugar to reproduce the taste of the full-sugar syrups. Teisseire Sugar Free Blackcurrant 60cl, Sugar Free Lemon Lime 60cl, Sugar Free Mint 60cl, Sugar Free Passion Fruit 60cl, Sugar Free Peach 60cl, Sugar Free Mint 1.3L: all zéro versions. Teisseire Grenadine Zéro 60cl and Teisseire Zero Lemon 60cl and Zero Peach 60cl and Zero Strawberry 60cl: further zero-sugar grenadine, lemon, peach and strawberry options. The concentrated drink version Teisseire Grenadine Zero Sugar 1.3L (1.3kg net weight = equivalent to approximately 8–10 litres of mixed drink) is the zero-calorie large-format option.
Mega 1.3L Family Formats
The Mega range brings the most popular Teisseire flavours in a 1.3L large-format resealable bottle, suited for families or households with high consumption. Available in: Apple Blackcurrant Raspberry (a triple-fruit blend), Ice Tea Peach, Lemon, Mint, Peach Apricot and the Grenadine Syrup Mega 1.3L.
Fruit Shoot — Ready-to-Drink Children's Drinks
Fruit Shoot (Teisseire's ready-to-drink brand) moves away from concentrated syrup into single-serve children's drinks in 20cl bottles: Apple Juice 4×20cl (no added sugar), Grenadine 4×20cl, Multivitamins 6×20cl, Red Fruit 4×20cl and Tropical 6×20cl. The format is designed for school lunchboxes, sports and on-the-go — child-sized portions with a resealable cap.

Teisseire FAQs
What is the correct ratio for diluting Teisseire syrup?
Teisseire recommends a dilution ratio of approximately 1 part syrup to 6–7 parts water for a standard-sweetness drink — roughly one 60cl bottle of syrup makes 3.5 to 4.2 litres of mixed drink. Taste is personal: some prefer a 1:5 ratio for a stronger flavour, others 1:8 or more for a lighter drink. The zero-sugar syrups tend to be more intensely flavoured at the same concentration because sweeteners can have a different sweetness intensity profile from sucrose; starting with the 1:7 ratio and adjusting is usually the right approach. French kirs (white wine with blackcurrant syrup) use a ratio of about 1:8 to 1:10 of syrup to wine. Teisseire syrups can also be used undiluted as a dessert sauce over ice cream or yogurt.
