Ricard Pastis de Marseille is one of the best-known and most traditional aniseed spirits from France. Since its introduction in 1932 by Paul Ricard, this pastis has established itself as a popular aperitif, appreciated for its intense flavour and refreshing herbal notes. Produced in Marseille, Ricard is based on a careful blend of star anise, liquorice extract and aromatic herbs from Provence. At 45% by volume, it has a powerful but harmonious intensity that is particularly effective when combined with water.

Its characteristic flavour is created through natural maceration and the use of high-quality botanicals. As soon as water is added, Ricard turns into a milky yellow emulsion - a typical characteristic of high-quality aniseed spirits. Its refreshing and flavoursome profile makes it a perfect aperitif for hot summer days or as an accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes.

Tasting Note

Colour: Golden yellow, with a milky cloudiness when diluted with water.

Nose: Intense aniseed and fennel aromas, complemented by a fine herbal spiciness and a slight sweetness.

Taste: Full-bodied and strong with dominant aniseed notes, rounded off with liquorice and herbal nuances.

The classic way to enjoy Ricard Pastis de Marseille is with cold water in a ratio of 1:5, served on ice. This traditional preparation brings out the full flavour and provides a refreshing note. Pastis harmonises perfectly with Mediterranean starters such as olives, tapenade or seafood. It also unfolds its aromatic depth as an accompaniment to spicy meat dishes or Provençal specialities such as bouillabaisse. If you want to experiment, Ricard can be enjoyed in cocktails such as a Perroquet (with mint syrup) or a Mauresque (with almond syrup). An indispensable classic for lovers of French aperitifs!
