For a strong Ricard, you can add an equal measure of water. However, it’s often drunk at a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio. Ricard is usually served in a tall highball glass but there are smaller glasses made specifically for pastis, too. You can also add icecubes, too. Ricard delivers an overall unctuous and sweet nosefeel. The bouquet is quite rich without being too intense. It consists of aromas like aniseed, fennel, and ginger. However, the aniseed dominates it. In terms of complexity, it’s quite simple. Indeed, it doesn’t compare (and shouldn’t be confused) with authentic absinthe. The linger does last a long time on the palate, but that is because of the sheer power of these herbs. As a result of the 1915 absinthe ban, to substitute for this traditional aperitif, Marseille locals started mixing their own aniseed-based drink, made from a combination of star anis, water, liquorice and herbs. Paul Ricard was first introduced to home-made pastis, otherwise known as "the thing" or "tiger's milk", by an old shepherd. [7] Ricard took the recipe for this "Marseille absinthe", and started experimenting and adapting it in his laboratory to produce a more refined version. [5] In the late 1920s, in his laboratory, Paul Ricard concocted an aniseed-based drink modelled along the same lines as this pre-existing pastis, test-marketing his product illegally in Marseilles bars, [6] as a result incurring some fines.

Ricard (1 bsp), Mezcal (2oz), Yellow Chartruese (¾ oz), lime juice (¾ oz), Agave syrup (1 bsp), and oregano (4 spg) While absinthe was widely successful in the USA, pastis never really took off in the same way. During the interim years before it was commercialised, the American market instead turned to other anisette drinks from the Mediterranean like sambuca and ouzo. An anethole essence is created by rectification of anise, star anise, and fennel seeds. [2] Various herbs and liquorice root are steeped with a neutral alcohol [1] [18] The anethole essence and flavored alcohol are blended with sugar (less than 100 grams per litre), and caramel (giving the distinctive yellow colour). The resultant spirit is bottled and stored above 12°C and away from sunlight, otherwise, the anethole starts to crystallise and impair its look and flavour. [2] In 1975, the companies of Ricard and Pernod Fils, the two largest French aniseed aperitif producers and fierce competitors, [12] merged creating the Pernod Ricard group, which now produces and distributes Ricard. [13] The product range expanded exponentially and branches were established abroad.

My grandfather was the son of wine merchants,” says Ricard’s grandson Francois-Xavier. “He wanted to be an artist, but his father insisted he join the family business, so he learned all the different roles and really got to know the culture.” First of all, I’ll be analysing the undiluted drink’s robe and nose rather than after adding water. Absinthe connoisseurs typically evaluate the drink’s louche effect with water. However, we will be omitting this step as it’s not part of the liquor formula. Of course, pastis isn’t just an accompaniment for Provençal dishes—many local chefs also cook with it. Among them is chef René Bergès, whose family-run restaurant La Table de Beaurecueil is located in Beaurecueil, a village at the foot of Montagne Sainte-Victoire. The mountain is said to have inspired artists such as Cézanne, Picasso, and Kandinsky.

It’s produced by Guillaume Ferroni, the brains behind Maison Ferroni, a distillery at Château des Creissauds in Aubagne, near Marseille. Among a wide range of spirits made there, his sublime version of pastis ages for two years before it’s released as a “vintage.” As for the occasion, it’s an overall casual drink. It’s not particularly versatile. Indeed, it’s often served as an apéritif or in the late afternoon. Therefore, it’s not really something that you’ll see at formal and lavish events. This century, more than 40 million litres [22] to 48.6 million litres (5.4 million 9 litre cases [23]) of Ricard are sold globally each year, making Ricard the world's eleventh-largest spirits signature. a b c d Sacha (17 January 2021).
