Gentian Recipes

French gentian aperitif spritz

Glass: Wine Glass

Garnish: Lemon peel

Suze's gentian root is bone-dry and floral-bitter, which is why the format leans on Prosecco's residual sugar more than an Aperol Spritz does — the wine sweetens what the liqueur won't. Orange bitters and the peel pull citrus through, taming the gentian without softening it.
