Pernod

Pernod is a clear, pale-gold anise liqueur. It delivers sweet licorice and herbal notes with a warm finish and turns opalescent when diluted; cooks splash it to deglaze seafood pans, enrich cream sauces, and season bouillabaisse, and bartenders measure it into anise-forward cocktails. It is typically bottled around 40% ABV.\n\nDeveloped in France as a pastis after absinthe restrictions, it is closely tied to Provence and Marseille aperitif culture and Mediterranean seafood cookery. Production macerates and distills anise and supporting botanicals, then sweetens and bottles the spirit.
