Suze Gentian Liqueur

Bitter gentian aperitif from France. Rich warm yellow color and sweet bitter herbal flavor, dry bitter finish. Like the French aperitif Salers, but better on its own--more rounded and refined, not as sharp. Makes an excellent cocktail too--simple Suze and Tonic, or G&T with Suze. My favorite of the white amari or gentian liqueurs.

Classic French, Gentian-based aperitif; fragrant lemon blossom and rooty earth tones define this delicately sweet, densely bitter liqueur. The autrefois is the more traditional recipe, being of a higher proof and more intensely flavored. (Had to knock off a star for the inclusion of yellow #5 coloring) Take a page out of Saler’s book and leave it be!
