Suze (drink)

Okay kiddo, have you ever had a lemonade? Suze is kind of like that, but it's made with a special plant called "gentiane".

The gentiane plant grows in the mountains in Europe and has a very bitter taste. People use the roots and leaves of the plant to make a special liquid that is called "gentian".

Suze is made with gentian and other ingredients like sugar and alcohol. It's a yellowish-brown color and has a bitter taste.

Some people like to drink suze on its own with ice, while others mix it with other drinks like tonic water or ginger ale. It can also be used as a flavoring in cocktails.

So, suze is a special drink made with a plant called "gentiane" that is bitter and mixed with other ingredients to make a refreshing drink.
