Amer Picon. 1925.
Gravity appears to be a relative option for this wispily clad, orange-toting lovely, who makes it perfectly clear that Amer Picon provides an invigorating boost. In 1837, Gaetan Picon was living in Phillipeville, Belgium, when he first concocted Amer Picon—an orange bitter cordial (“amer” means “bitter” in French). It was supposed to be good for the stomach and aid digestion. It wasn’t until Picon returned to France at the turn of that century that he began to mass produce the cordial. The apéritif-loving French found many uses for Amer Picon, including “Picon Punch” and as an additive to beer. At the current time, this product can be fairly difficult to find, and in fact doesn't appear to be available in the United States at all.
