Suze Aperitif – a French bitter with historic charm

Design & Brand Identity

The bottle is slender and stylish, featuring the distinctive ‘Suze’ logo, which has been in use for over a century. Its yellow colour evokes the nostalgic design of the Belle Époque.

Manufacturing & Craftsmanship

The gentian root is macerated and distilled, then refined with other herbal and plant extracts. Suze is produced without the addition of wine, artificial colourings or sugar, in order to preserve its natural bitterness.

Serving and drinking recommendations

Served neat on ice or as a long drink with tonic and lemon. The ‘White Negroni’ (Suze + Lillet Blanc + gin) is particularly popular. Other classics include the Suze Sour, Suze & Soda, or creative variations featuring mezcal or vermouth.

Region & Origin

Produced in southern France (Thuir, Pyrénées-Orientales) – directly at the historic Pernod Ricard distillery. The recipe originated in the Jura region, created by Fernand Moureaux, who developed it in 1885.
