Suze is made with gentian, a bitter and herbal root that comes from a family of Alpine flowering plant. Gentian is used as a bittering agent in several famed bitter liqueurs like Aperol and Campari, but it’s the predominant flavor profile of Suze. With a relatively low ABV of 15%, Suze is commonly consumed as an aperitif, or pre-meal drink. It’s delicious on its own over ice with a lemon twist, or topped with either tonic water or soda water. Samples are only available for UK entrants only and those aged 18 and over and will be sent within 14 days of a sample request. Suze was first put on the market under the name of Picotin in 1889 on the occasion of the Paris World Fair by Ferdinand Moureaux, who had inherited his family's distillery in Maisons-Alfort. [3] The name was changed to Suze in 1898 and might either be related to Moureaux' sister in law Susanne Jaspert or to the river Suze in Switzerland, where Moureaux is said to have bought the recipe in 1885 or 1914. [4] To create this sour, I wanted to use egg white (or aquafaba) to tame some of the aggressive bitterness. The citrus notes coming off a glass of Suze are no joke – they hide just behind those woody, bitter aromas. It smells as if you’re in a kitchen where someone’s just peeled an orange or lemon.

Suze ( French pronunciation: [syz]) is a French brand of bitters flavored with the roots of the plant gentian, normally drunk as an apéritif. The brand is owned by Pernod Ricard. It is yellow in color with an ABV of 15% [1] across Europe and a version bottled at 20% for the British market.

Jazz up a 50/50 martini: half London Dry gin, half sweet vermouth, with a splash of Suze for richness. Today, Suze also produces three types of bitters as well as Racines de Suze, a higher-proof liqueur made with gentian root that has been grown for at least 25 years. As with any sour, balance and proportions are key. I used just a ½ ounce of the Suze to keep the flavor balanced. I also added an egg white (or aquafaba) to the drink to soften and bind the flavors together.

For the sour element, I chose lemon over lime as it worked much better with whiskey. Both lime juice and lemon juice worked beautifully with gin as the base spirit.
