Suze Aperitif is a classic French bitter liqueur born in 1889 on the outskirts of Paris, carrying more than a century of aperitif tradition in every pour. Crafted with gentian root still sourced from the Jura mountains, it reflects the distinctly French love for balanced bitterness and aromatic depth, making it a timeless staple behind the bar.
On the palate, Suze delivers a striking interplay of bitter-sweet flavors, led by earthy gentian, subtle spice, and a gentle fruitiness that lingers with refreshing clarity. The ingredients are simple yet expressive, allowing the natural character of the botanicals to shine without excess sweetness, resulting in a clean and assertive profile.
Bottled at 20% alcohol by volume, Suze is best enjoyed neat or over ice as a pre-dinner drink, but truly excels when used as a bitter backbone in classic and modern cocktails. Its versatility and unmistakable character make it an essential aperitif for those who appreciate bold flavors with French heritage.
