King of the mountain

Raises a glass to the gods…

Can it clean windows?

Génépi, a traditional herbal liqueur, also refers to alpine plants of the genus Artemisia (commonly called wormwood) that provide the liqueur’s flavor and color, and the French Savoy region adjacent to the Aosta Valley, where the plants grow and where the beverage originated.

Genepi liqueur is related to absinthe in that its namesake botanicals are of the Artemisia genus, but like Chartreuse, it is a liqueur (contains sugar) and traditionally taken neat. Like many European herbal liqueurs, especially those used as digestifs, the flavor of génépi can be an acquired taste. It is less sweet than many digestifs, and the flavor imparted by the herbs is reminiscent of chamomile or feverfew. It is naturally light olive to pale gold.
