Salers Gentiane Aperitif Liqueur
Discover the timeless elegance of Salers Gentiane Aperitif Liqueur, a classic French aperitif that has been delighting connoisseurs since 1885. Made from the root of the wild flowering plant Gentiane lutea, this liqueur offers a pure, firm, and rustic earthy profile that sets it apart from its sweeter, artificially colored rivals. Its beautiful natural straw color and unique flavor make it a standout choice for any cocktail enthusiast.
A Taste of Tradition
Salers is the oldest gentian liqueur from the Massif Central, the birthplace of this distinctive style. Its large tuberous roots have been used for centuries as a digestive aid and other cures. The Salers distillery, located in the town of Salers near the Puy Marie mountain, continues to produce this exceptional aperitif with the same dedication to quality and tradition.
Versatile and Refreshing
Enjoy Salers Gentiane Liqueur on the rocks with a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing summer drink. Its low alcohol content and drinkability make it perfect for a Happy Hour menu. For a delightful twist, mix it with San Pellegrino Limonata or other sweetened lemon sodas. If you prefer a homemade touch, shake up Salers with lemon juice and honey, pour over ice, and top with club soda.
