Pastis

Pastis is a French anise-flavored aperitif, primarily associated with the southern regions of France. Made by infusing neutral spirits with anise, fennel, and other botanicals, it offers a sweet and aromatic flavor profile. Traditionally served diluted with water, Pastis turns a milky white, enhancing its refreshing qualities.

Characterized by intense licorice notes, Pastis is typically enjoyed over ice or in cocktails, but it’s most commonly sipped with water and a slice of lemon. With deep roots in French culture, particularly in the Mediterranean, Pastis embodies a leisurely social experience, making it a cherished choice for gatherings and a taste of southern France.
