Picon L'AMER Liqueur 21% vol. 1 litre online kaufen

Picon L'AMER Liqueur 21% ABV 1 l is a traditional French bitter liqueur with orange, which has been renowned since the 19th century for its distinctive blend of citrus fruits, herbs and bitter ingredients. The recipe was developed in 1837 by Gaétan Picon in Algeria, which was then under French rule. It is based on distilled fresh and dried orange peel, combined with gentian and cinchona bark. These carefully selected ingredients give the ‘Aperitif à l’Orange’ its unmistakable character and make it a classic of French aperitif culture. The time-honoured Picon Amer is now marketed under the name Picon L’AMER, whilst the speciality’s well-known character remains at the heart of the product. With an alcohol content of 21% vol., this aromatic orange bitter liqueur is available in a generous 1-litre bottle.


The Picon brand looks back on a history spanning almost 190 years and has established itself as an integral part of the aperitif tradition, particularly in France. Picon L’AMER, still known to many connoisseurs by its former name, Picon Amer, is one of the classic examples of French Amer liqueurs, whose recipes combine fruity elements with aromatic bitter notes. This speciality is particularly highly regarded in traditional bar culture, as it is used as a key ingredient in well-known cocktails such as the Brooklyn, Mother-in-Law and Creole Cocktail. The combination of a historic recipe, the French liqueur tradition and its versatility makes Picon L’AMER an interesting addition to any well-stocked home bar.
