Description
Pernod Pastis is a classic French anise aperitif with a bright, refreshing profile of star anise, fennel, licorice, and soft herbal spice. Bottled at 40% ABV, it turns cloudy when mixed with cold water, opening into a lighter and more aromatic drink. Its clean anise character makes it useful for traditional aperitif service, Sazeracs, seafood pairings, and Mediterranean-style cocktails.
Producer
Pernod traces its roots to 1805, when Henri-Louis Pernod helped establish one of the defining names in French anise spirits. The brand became closely associated with absinthe before French drinkers embraced anise aperitifs and pastis-style serves. Today, Pernod remains part of Pernod Ricard, the spirits group created when Pernod and Ricard joined forces in 1975.
Cocktail Suggestions
Pernod Pastis is a natural fit for a Mauresque with cold water and a small measure of orgeat. The water opens the anise aromatics, while the almond syrup softens the licorice and fennel notes for a classic southern French aperitif serve.
It also works well as the anise rinse in a Sazerac with rye whiskey, sugar, Peychaud’s bitters, and a lemon twist. Used in a small amount, Pernod adds a bright licorice snap and herbal lift without overpowering the whiskey’s spice and oak.
