Panisse Is Here to Replace Your French Fries

Crispy on the outside and custard-like on the inside, these chickpea fries from Provence are utterly irresistible

Finely ground chickpea flour is key to the silky interior of these simple Provençal fritters

The Obscure French Bitter That Took Over Nevada—And Many Bartenders' Hearts

Amer Picon is not a bottle you come across casually. Just ask the devotees who are smuggling the liqueur into America, or trying to make their own

Classic Picon Punch

Torani Amer is tempered with a touch of grenadine and soda, then served over ice with a brandy float and lemon twist

Modern Picon Punch

Amer Depot, an American-made version of France’s Amer Picon bitter, and Spanish brandy are combined with the usual grenadine and soda water in this riff on Nevada’s classic Picon Punch

French Aperitifs Need More Love

Amers, flavored with wild Alpine roots, are subtle, complex, and don't get the appreciation they deserve

China Fight Cocktail

Similar to a manhattan but with cognac and amer providing the powerful base, his concoction gets a refreshing splash of elderflower liqueur
