History

A mouth-watering apéritif with a salivating bitterness. Makes a Spritz seem bland.

Sullivan Doh created this drink in 2017 at Le Syndicat in Paris, France. He describes his creation: "I was looking for a nice bitter and refreshing drink with a hint of complexity. The gentian of the Suze marries perfectly with the wine and quinine flavour of the Byrrh."
