Suze is a French aperitif with a delicately bitter gentian root flavor. Its mild sweetness and hints of citrus and wildflowers make it a wonderful partner for sparkling wine, especially with the addition of a little elderflower liqueur.
Ingredients
- 3/4 ounce Suze
- 1 1/4 ounce St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
- 4 ounces chilled Cava
