Suze (drink)

Suze (French pronunciation: [syz]) is a French brand of bitters flavored with the roots of the plant gentian, normally drunk as an apéritif.

It is yellow in color with an ABV of 15%[1] across Europe and a version bottled at 20% for the British market.

[2] 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.
