Genepy, also known as Génépi, is a traditional type of herbal liqueur that originates from the Alps, particularly in regions like France, Italy, and Switzerland. It is made by macerating various alpine herbs and flowers, such as mountain sage, wormwood, gentian, and various other botanicals, in a base alcohol. The exact recipe can vary depending on the producer, and some may include additional botanicals or spices for added complexity.

Genepy has a distinct herbal and floral flavor profile, with notes that can range from bitter and aromatic to slightly sweet and floral, depending on the specific blend of herbs used. It is often consumed as a digestif, served neat or on the rocks, and it can also be used as a flavorful ingredient in cocktails. Additionally, genepy is sometimes used in traditional Alpine folk medicine for its purported medicinal properties, although its primary use today is as a beverage.
