From Our Parisian Friends!

In the cafes in Paris, they drink this in the mornings to fortify themselves for the day--the spirit is called Pernod, and it's a licorice liquer that was created when absinthe was banned. This cocktail is pretty basic, pretty simple. The goal is to put just enough water in the Pernod that the drink becomes cloudy--this happens at a specific concentration of the spirit. Use cool but not cold water and in theory you shouldn't need ice.






French Style Pernod recipe

1 oz Pernod® licorice liqueur
5 oz wate

Pour both ingredients into a highball glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well, and serve.

Okay? All right. Take care and until next time, SEE YA!
