History

A bittersweet apéritif with cleansing citrus sourness, where vanilla and bourbon notes combine well with gentian.

Juan Meyer created this drink in Norwalk, USA, in 2017. Meyer explained his inspiration, stating, "One of my regulars came in and said he wants a hot toddy, but he wants it not hot, so I reached for the Suze and this is what I made."
