| | Pastis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although it is consumed throughout France, especially in the summer, pastis is generally associated with southeastern France, especially with the city of Marseille, and with the clichés of the Provençal lifestyle, like pétanque. | | | Pastis is an anise-flavored liqueur and apéritif from France, typically containing 40-45% alcohol by volume, although there exist alcohol-free varieties. | | | When absinthe was banned in France in 1915, the major absinthe producers (then Pernod and Ricard, who have since merged as Pernod Ricard) reformulated their drink without the banned wormwood component, creating pastis, which remains popular in France today. |

| | Saveur - The Essence of Provence |
| | Pastis acquires its flavor from the maceration of its ingredients in neutral alcohol. | | | Pastis is the generic name for a class of French-made anise-flavored spirits, popular enough in Paris but practically mother’s milk in Provence and along the Côte d’Azur. | | | Among the pastis brands more likely to be found in France than in the U.S. are Pastis 51, which is very viscous and pungent; Baldanis, dry and austere—the essence of anise; and Jean Boyer, possessing a dry, highly aromatic bouquet and a flavor that reminds me of green Chartreuse. |

| | Pastis — the French national, versatile and much-loved drink |
| | Pastis consists of alcohol, star anise, both black and white pepper corns, cardamom, sage, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, licorice and a little sugar. | | | Pastis, a Marseillais will tell you, was invented by a curious and experiment-happy monk in a monastery kitchen, concocting recipes to find the “elixir of life”. | | | Pastis is a charming drink — the first glass invites the second and very often the second the third. |

| | Absinthe Substitute Reviews - Pastis, Liqueur d'Anis, Anisette etc - ABSINTHE.SE |
| | Pastis includes many herbs that are not found in absinthe, and also licorice extracts and sometimes even spices, which is never used in an absinthe. | | | If you're in to really sweet pastis, you could actually add some sugar to this one, as with an absinthe, since it's not at all as sweet as most other pastises. | | | A good thing to keep in mind is that the Pernod distillery of today has absilutely nothing in common with the old Pernod Fils distillery, other than the name. |
