With a recipe that can be traced back to the late 1800s, Suze is a French liqueur made from a blend of farmed and wild gentian that’s macerated in alcohol for a year before distillation and blending. With its brilliant yellow color, the bittersweet liqueur may be best known for its role in the White Negroni, but it brings a bright floral bitterness to an array of cocktails. Start your Suze adventures with the recipes below.
