Amer Picon
Pronunciation: [ah-MEHR pee-KAWN]
Filed under: Champagne
An extremely bitter (amer is French for bitter) French vermouth-style apéritif. It has a dark reddish-brown color and is flavored with gentian, orange, and cinchona bark, which yields quinine—hence, the bitterness. Amer Picon is typically taken with soda water, but is also used in various cocktails. Also known simply as Picon.
