All you boozers - where to find liquors online?
« on: October 10, 2006, 09:30:32 PM »
I am looking for Amer Picon but I have no idea where to start looking here.  Does anyone have a good place they like to order from?

Thanks Q-G but they didn't have it.  I guess it's hard to find.  It is a bitter orange liquor that is used to make a drink called Picon Biere.  I had it 20 years ago when I was in France and I had always wondered what the heck it was, it was sooo yummy.  When I was in Paris last weekend, we sat down in a cafe to have a beer and it was on the menu!!  Now I know I wasn't crazy and it was as yummy as I remember it.  It is made with lager and a shot of Amer Picon.

This page has a couple of substitutes.  They might not be any easier to find though.  What about French distributers?

Yes, I'm kicking myself over it..  but I didn't know what it was until I got home!   I figure, I've waited 20 years just to know that I wasn't imagining it, I can wait a little longer to get the bottle.  DH is going to Paris in March so if I can't find it before then, he'll get some for me.  thanks Geeta!
