History

Sour, dry and complex with bittersweet herbal gentian notes over a gin base.

J Lynn created this drink in 2017 at Lyons at Ace Hotel New Orleans in New Orleans, USA. Lynn "wanted to create something more palatable for those new to gentian." The name is derived from a 1912 Picasso collage that included a bottle of Suze.
