Natural digestives: 5 French liqueurs to try
Looking for a traditional, natural, and characterful digestif? Here are five must-try French liqueurs to round off a meal with taste and authenticity.
1.Gentian liqueur
Bitter and rooty, it stimulates digestion. Ideal after a heavy meal. De Michellot gentian is a 100% natural, colorant-free version.
2.Homemade verbena
Herbaceous, lemony, fresh: perfect for the end of summer meals. It's best served very fresh, almost frosted.
3.The Alpine genepi
Typical of the French mountains, with a floral and intense taste. It combines pastoral traditions and artisanal know-how.
4.Peppermint liqueur
Digestive, refreshing, powerful: it leaves a clean and lively mouth.
5.Black cherry or plum liqueur
Fruitier but without excess sugar, they end a meal on a sweet note.
