Salers, established in 1885, is the oldest Gentian Liqueur of France’s rugged Massif-Central, birthplace of this style of aperitif, and remains faithful to the original recipe. Made from the root of Gentiane lutea with other citrus, mint and botanicals macerated in a neutral spirit, it distinguishes itself with a pure, firm, rustic profile, tempered sweetness and pronounced bitterness. Originally introduced as an elixir to aid indigestion and other ailments, it’s become an essential component of a well stocked bar. With no artificial yellow coloring and a modest 16% abv, it’s perfect on ice with a wedge of lemon, in a sparkling lemonade, or in a crystal clear, white Negroni.
