Thought to have originated at the Noriega Hotel in Bakersfield, California, the Picon Punch has become something of a signature drink of Basque immigrant communities in the USA who have also taken it back to their home region in the French Pyrénées.

Bittersweet and herbal, a distinctly French aperitif.
