PiconBièreLiqueur(1L)

<p>Get your Beer, cher ami, we’re mixing it with an iconic French bitter.</p><p>Acquired by the <em>Campari Group in 2022</em>, Picon was invented in 1837 by <em>Gaétan Picon</em>, a French cavalry sergeant who was also an apprentice at the distilleries of Aix-en-Provence, Toulon, and Marseille. After serving in Algeria, he created the recipe for Picon, a flavored orange-based Bitter of a caramel hue that was traditionally enjoyed as an Aperitif and because it contains quinine, it was popular in Africa for warding off malaria. Today, it’s traditionally<em> paired with Beer</em> in the East and North of France. Picon actually went on to open a number of distilleries in Algeria, Constantine, Bône and Algiers. To this day, Picon is still one of <em>the most popular Aperitifs in France.</em></p><p>The original Picon is crafted from a base of <em>dried herbs</em> and <em>fresh oranges</em>, which are dried and mixed with a base Spirit, gentian, and quinquina. There are currently two versions of this bitter Liqueur available: one to be mixed with Wine and cocktails and the other to be mixed with Beer. As the name suggests, <em>Picon Bière</em> will make a wonderful pair for your Pilsner or Wheat Beer.</p>
