Picon Amer is obviously produced in Belgium nowadays, but I think it’s safe to say that it is an original French bitter, given that Gaétan Picon was French, born and bred, although he first started producing the beverage in Algeria. See for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picon_(apéritif).

The first picon factory was located in Marseille and it is still in operation!

Whooops! Thanks for the correction. I've removed the reference.
Although I tend to prefer the dryer Brooklyn Cocktail, I must admit that this version is... perfect ! One of my favorite cocktails in winter. It's so comforting.
