Pernod | Local Spirit From France, Western Europe | TasteAtlas

Pernod

Pernod is the oldest French aniseed-based spirit. It was first produced in 1805, and it was technically absinthe. Following the European ban on absinthe, the drink was reformulated in 1926 as an anise-based spirit. Pernod is a clear, pale golden drink with a clean and refreshing flavor and herbaceous aroma reminiscent of aniseed and licorice.


It is traditionally diluted with water and plenty of ice—which produces a slightly cloudy drink—but it also blends well in cocktails and other long drinks. Pernod is bottled at 40% ABV.
