Vermouth, aperitifs & wine

Amer Picon

French orange-and-gentian bitter aperitif. Today’s Picon is weaker than the one old recipes used and is hard to find outside France; an orange-forward amaro is the usual stand-in.

Swaps

Out of Amer Picon? In a pinch, use Averna. The drink will taste different, but it will still work.
