Genepi,my new favorite little drink. While in France I was introduced by my new friend Max who was an Italian ski coach to a liquor called Genepi or Liquore di Genepì and I am now on a mission to get this special drink into my house!
I love special little things and Genepi is now one of them! Genepi comes from the Genepi flower which is a little yellow flower that only grows in the French Alps and only grows above 2,400 meters. Every Spring,The flower is harvested and then turned into either a tea or a liquor. It is looked at as a strong tonic since the flower carries many benefits; improved digestion is one of them. Most of the pubs in the Alps make their own Genepi, like the place I went daily.
One shot of this stuff and you are feeling fantastic plus it tastes like a delicate aromatic flower and it’s fun to drink because it is so rare, it’s not something you find at the liquor store or many pubs in France! After one sip you will be asking Genepi s'il vous plaît every place you go!

Geez, I'm French, from the Alps, and I can tell you it tastes like hell !! But big up to you, you discovered the secret to longevity a lot of Americans don't know about :-)
All the best
