Terres Rouges Salers Aperitf La Bounoux

Salers is a fascinating elixir from the Massif Centrale. The bark of yellow gentian is steeped in alcohol with a secret recipe of other herbs to create an earthy beverage with tons of local character. Yellow gentian grows best at high elevation on volcanic soils, as is the case for gentian grown around the Auvergne and used here. Locally Salers in enjoyed with ice as an aperitif, but there are many modern cocktail recipes that call for it as well.
