 Genepi liqueur is related to absinthe in that its namesake botanicals are of the genus "Artemisia", 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.
