Salers Apertif 750 ml

Salers is a French aperitif liqueur made from gentian root, grown in the volcanic soils of the Auvergne region, in the same bittersweet, herbal family as other gentian-based apéritifs. Gentian gives these drinks their distinctive earthy bitterness, balanced here against a base of sweetness to keep it approachable rather than austere. Expect a nose of dried herbs and root bitterness, a palate balancing bitter and sweet with a light vegetal note, and a clean, moderately bitter finish. It's built as a before-dinner apéritif, meant to stimulate the appetite rather than close out a meal.

How to drink Salers Apéritif

Serve it over ice with a wedge of lemon and a splash of soda water, the classic French way to open an appetite before a meal.
