Picon Punch

Picon Punch, or simply Picon, is a highball cocktail made with an Amaro liqueur, soda water,[1] grenadine,[1] a splash of lemon, and a bit of brandy[2] floating on top.

It is popular in Basque restaurants and bars in Boise and southern Idaho, in Bakersfield and rural Northern and Central California,[4][2] and in Reno throughout Northern Nevada.

The traditional liqueur used (Amer Picon) is made in Marseille, France,[1][5] and is not readily available in the United States, so Torani Amer has come to be the standard liqueur used.

In Northern Nevada, the Picon Punch is served with ice in a custom stemmed glass produced by the Louie Picon Glass Company of Sparks, Nevada.

[6] In other regions, the drink is made in a highball or Collins glass filled with ice.
