French soldier Gaétan Picon crafted his namesake liqueur — an intensely bitter, herbal, and orange-forward spirit meant to fight off fevers — in the 1830s. Back home, locals soon discovered that a dash of Amer Picon in their beer transformed an ordinary pint into something extraordinary. And so the Picon Bière was born. Joining us to explore it today is Jay Zimmerman, long-time bar owner and bartender at Bar Ba'sik, which sadly recently closed, and sales manager at Good Time Brewing Co. Listen on (or read below) to discover Jay's Picon Bière recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe! Jay Zimmerman's Picon Bière Recipe Ingredients - 1 ounce Amer Picon or alternative, such as Braulio or the Pathfinder - 6 ounces beer, such as Kronenbourg, Witbier, or Good Time IPA Non-Alcoholic Directions 1. Build in a 10 ounce Highball glass. 2. Serve as cold as possible without ice.
Don't sleep on the Brooklyn cocktail! This riff on a Manhattan is a classic that deserves some attention. However, there is a small problem to overcome. A primary ingredient cannot be found here in the US and there is no way to make the original, until now. Uncle Brad gives us a great stand-in recipie, with a Jules riff of course, and teaches us how to make the Amer Picon that made this drink so magical – so stick around for todays history lesson for that recipe.

In this audio essay, Eric examines mergers and acquisitions in the spirits world, using several case studies to explore how brands rise, fall, or become acquired. The case studies are: The recent acquisition of Picon Aperitif from Diageo by the Campari Group The sale of Blue Coat Gin to Heaven Hill, as part of their acquisition of Samson & Surrey. The acquisition of Faber Distilling (and its facilities) by Millstone Spirits Group At first blush, this might sound like just a bunch of corporate twaddle. But if you dig into the stories behind these headlines, a richer, crisper picture of today's spirits industry begins to emerge. This episode is brought to you by Near Country Provisions.

The Mother-in-Law Cocktail is a tricky one to discuss. It is a family recipe out of New Orleans, and the ingredients are in great proportions to make it something you store in a bottle. This drink calls for New Orleans staple Peychaud’s Bitters, Angostura, Bitters, Amer Picon, Orange Curacao, simple syrup, maraschino liqueur, and Bourbon. Just short of every booze possible. So, with nothing to go on as far a history of this cocktail we talk about, you guessed it, Mother-in-laws! Join us as we discuss the long-running mother-in-law jokes and stereotypes with roots in Vaudeville and the transition to other entertainment mediums, possibilities of where this trope might have originated, and whether there is any cultural truth behind overbearing mother-in-laws. The recipe is: 1 tsp Peychaud's Bitters 1 tsp Angostura Bitters 1 tsp Amer Picon 0.5 oz orange curacao 0.5 oz simple syrup 0.5 oz maraschino 9 oz bourbon
In the U.S. of today the term liberal has very specific connotations. What did it mean when the Liberal Cocktail was created in the 1890s though? Was the creation a celebration of or jab at late 19th-century liberal ideals? If you had that label, what were you fighting for? Join us as explore the concept of liberalism and its meaning during the early 20th century. We also discuss the Liberal Cocktail, its standout ingredient Amer Picon, and the nearly complete disappearance of both. In the case of the cocktail, we take a look at whether a backlash against liberalism may have been the real cause of its disappearance. The recipe is: ¾ ounce of whiskey ¾ ounce of Italian vermouth 3 dashes of Amer Picon (or Torani Amer) 1 dash of orange bitters

The Brooklyn is a delicious cousin of the Manhattan cocktail that uses a truly unusual ingredient that is, alas, hard to find. The key ingredient, Amer Picon, is not available in the United States and doesn't exist in it's original strenght and formulation even if you find it in France. However, there are efforts to recreate the original Picon, and the Golden Moon version I found seems to do an admirable job. I'm also providing a link to a recipe, if you want to try making own. The recipe I'm using on this episode is from Ted Haigh's "Vintage Spirits And Forgotten Cocktails" — a much appreciated Christmas gift. 2 ounces rye or Bourbon 3/4 ounce dry vermouth 2 teaspoons (1/3 ounce) Amer Picon 2 teaspons (1/3 ounce) maraschino liqueur Place everything into a mixing glass and stir until thoroughly mixed. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.

In this episode we take a look at the Brooklyn cocktail, which looks to be the product of Jack Grohusko from the early part of the 20th century. Most cocktails take some wondering and digging and guessing in order to figure out why a bartender gave it a particular name. With the Brooklyn, we go out on a limb here and say that it is probably named after the borough in New York. Sometimes it is not worth overthinking. There is no indication as to why it is called the Brooklyn though. Was this a sister drink of the Manhattan and the Bronx and part of a trend? Was it created in Brooklyn? Or was this another one-off cocktail requested by some random patron that got thrown into a recipe book? With a whole big lack of information on this one, we discuss the gentleman’s trade that was being a bartender in the cocktail era. With many recipe books working as trade manuals of sorts, they often laid out the appropriate behavior for a barman when slinging drinks. Spoiler: There was a lot less chatting and a whole lot more crisp white shirts back in the day. Join us as a dive into another cocktail with an obvious reference, but a mysterious origin. 2 ounces rye or other whiskey1 ounce dry vermouth1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur1/4 ounce Amer Picon
