Amer Picon Bitters is a dark-red liqueur with a bitter orange flavour made in France. It's meant to be mixed with beer (or drunk with beer as a chaser.) Many like to mix it also with white wine. It is very popular in Alsace. Amer Picon Bitters is made from neutral alcohol infused with fresh and dried orange peel, cinchona bark (quinine), sugar syrup, dried gentian root, spices and herbs. Amer Picon was 39% alcohol up until the 1970s; it was then lowered to 25% alcohol, and lowered again, in 1989, to 19%. In 1995, they started making a second version called "Picon club" for mixing with dry white wine.

Picon's Amer (French for "bitter") dates back to the mid-1800s with bittering herbs like quinine, cinchona, and genetian — the exact recipe closely guarded. Remaining primarily to the confines of Europe, this spirit is primarily consumed within its boundaries.
