Pastis, that pale yellow, oh-so-summery aromatic drink, will take you straight to the south of France...Just take a long sip, close your eyes, and soon you will hear the sound of the cigales, and you will just drift away to a small port near Marseille, or to a village in Provence...
We've been drinking this anise-flavored liqueur all summer long, with friends, on the veranda (Greeks love it by the way as it is very familiar to ouzo, but has a different color and a more aromatic smell), and we'll keep on drinking it, hoping that the summer will last a little more...!
It's no wonder that the symbol of Ricard, probably the most famous producer of pastis, is the SUN...
Drink it as an apéritif in a tall glass with water and plenty of ice (serve about 3 measures of pastis and top it off with water; the color should be light yellow). Experiment with the doses depending on whether you like it lighter or stronger. Since the French, especially in the South, drink it almost all day long, they make it rather light...!
i think the dose should depend on the kind of day you had! LOL
