Pernod (pastis) Classique

Recipe #93483 | 1 min | 1 min prep | add private note

This a summer staple at our house, in French homes and on cafe terraces. A very thirst-quenching and refreshing drink, the taste will grow on you. Pernod is the brand name of the French licorice-flavored liqueur pastis, and you can find it under either of these names, as well as Ricard. It is traditionally served to you in two parts: the pernod with two ice cubes, in a special glass that is broader at the top than at the bottom; and a small pitcher of water so that you can mix it as strongly or weakly as you wish. I've listed here the classic combination.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 fluid ounce Pernod
  • 5 fluid ounces water
  • 2 ice cubes

Directions

  1. 1
    Pour the Pernod in a tall glass.
  2. 2
    Add the water, and ice cubes.
  3. 3
    Stir, then-- Sit back, relax, and enjoy life!

Bien sur, this is the way we drink pastis! Though I have to admit, at my house I favor Granier, "mon pastis"...although Pernod is the better pastis, when I moved, I could only find Granier, so now...c'est ca!

    Thanks Flemish Minx for this recipe, it is just about how I drink it myself, just a tad less water.

    DH and I enjoyed the Pernod Classique with a lovely summer meal of fresh sea scallops, we thought it complimented the seafood perfectly! Light, simple and refreshing, this will be a regular at our house. Thank you FlemishMinx for sharing.

    You said it. The classic mixture: 1 part Pernod and 5 parts water. I use mineral water (non sparkling) and instead of ice cubes I use to put Pernod and water into the fridge for a while. A refreshing aperitif. Never change a winning team.
