How to enjoy génépi in summer? Cocktails and fresh ideas

Introduction

Far from the image of a winter digestif to be enjoyed by the fire, génépi finds its place at summer aperitif time. Refreshing, aromatic, and full of character, it enhances homemade cocktails, evenings with friends... and even hikes! At Guillaumette, we explain why (and how) to enjoy it all summer long.

Genepi: much more than a digestif

Traditionally associated with the end of a meal, génépi nevertheless proves to be incredibly versatile. Thanks to its herbal and floral notes, it can be enjoyed chilled, as an aperitif, in a shot, or in a long version for original cocktails.

Our Génépi Dry , with its reduced sugar content, is ideal for light and modern recipes, while our authentic liqueur brings roundness and intensity to your creations.
