PASTIS

Pastis is one of the most iconic French aperitifs, a symbol of conviviality and Mediterranean tradition. Born in the early 20th century, it is made from a blend of star anise, licorice, and aromatic plants that give it its unique and refreshing taste. Served topped up with chilled water, it reveals all its complexity and releases characteristic aniseed aromas. While iconic brands like Ricard and Pastis 51 popularized this aperitif, many artisanal producers perpetuate authentic expertise by offering original recipes and macerations of local plants. Pastis is the perfect accompaniment to relaxing moments with friends, summer aperitifs, and sunny meals. Its success is due as much to its simplicity of preparation as to its ability to reflect the flavors of the South of France. Available in classic or more aromatic versions, it seduces with its balance between freshness and intensity.
