Ale à la Française

By Jacob Grier, from the Jacob Grier collection

Serves

Introduction

One of the oldest ways of mixing beer and spirits comes from, of all places, France — the Picon Bière. The drink spices up a simple lager with a dose of Picon, a bitter aperitif flavored with orange, gentian, and cinchona. The addition of a little Picon completely transforms an otherwise boring glass of beer.

Ingredients

	¾	oz. Picon, Torani Amer, or Gran Classico
	5 to 6	oz. beer

Steps

Build in a glass and serve.
