Description
Ricard Pastis de Marseille is the iconic French anise-flavored aperitif that has been a staple of Provençal culture since 1932. Crafted from star anise, licorice root, and a blend of aromatic herbs native to southern France, it delivers a complex bouquet of herbal, citrus, and spice notes. Traditionally served diluted with cold water, Ricard transforms into a cloudy golden hue, releasing refreshing flavors of anise, fennel, and Mediterranean botanicals. Smooth, vibrant, and unmistakably French, this classic pastis is perfect for leisurely aperitif hours and pairs beautifully with seafood, olives, and other Mediterranean fare.
