Ricard France

Ricard Pastis is France's most popular and beloved spirit, often enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif among friends. Adding water allows Ricard to bloom, resulting in a bright louche of opaque yellow sunshine in a glass. Ricard's secret recipe, unaltered since its creation, is composed of selected herbs and spices including Chinese star anise, Syrian licorice, and aromatic herbs from Provence. Compared to Pernod, Ricard is drier and higher in alcohol.
