Nevertheless, the whole experience is dominated by aniseed. Therefore, if you’re fond of traditional Scandinavian aquavit, this is something to try. Bardouin loved to concoct different liqueurs from the herbs on Montagne de Lure,” explains Alain Robert, who took over the distillery reins in 1974. The spices used here have traveled from afar: licorice from Turkey, cardamom from countries in the Indian Ocean, tonka beans from Guyana.

The main producer of absinthe, Pernod Fils, switched to distilling aniseed to create a liqueur in Pontarlier, eastern France, and later in Avignon. Meanwhile in Provence, the rustic way to create a similar drink, pastis, was to macerate herbs in alcohol. Pastis had been around for a long time; it just never had a brand or a champion—until Paul Ricard.My grandfather was the son of wine merchants,” says Ricard’s grandson Francois-Xavier. “He wanted to be an artist, but his father insisted he join the family business, so he learned all the different roles and really got to know the culture.” In terms of its presentation, we’re looking at this classic French bottle, which has a traditional design. It looks elegant in both a cabinet and on a shelf. Meanwhile, it features a screw top that functions well. Ricard is often considered the leading flavoured spirit in France. [20] This century, Ricard has reported an annual consumption of their pastis in France ranging from 120 million litres to 130 million litres. [13] The Ricard and Pastis 51 brands hold high market positions for the Pernod Ricard group, which produces and distributes them through the Ricard company. [13] Ricard is often coined as the "first spirit brand" in France, based on the volumes sold and/or turnover. [21] Consumption globally [ edit ] As a result of the 1915 absinthe ban, to substitute for this traditional aperitif, Marseille locals started mixing their own aniseed-based drink, made from a combination of star anis, water, liquorice and herbs. Paul Ricard was first introduced to home-made pastis, otherwise known as "the thing" or "tiger's milk", by an old shepherd. [7] Ricard took the recipe for this "Marseille absinthe", and started experimenting and adapting it in his laboratory to produce a more refined version. [5] In the late 1920s, in his laboratory, Paul Ricard concocted an aniseed-based drink modelled along the same lines as this pre-existing pastis, test-marketing his product illegally in Marseilles bars, [6] as a result incurring some fines.

The Plasencia Alma Del Campo has a distinctive anise note in the first third. That being said, the profile of pastis is quite potent. Therefore, take care when pairing cigars as it could easily overpower its flavour. a b "Paul Ricard, 88, a Mixmaster Who Triumphed With Pastis". The New York Times. Section D. 8 November 1997. p.16.

Among them is chef René Bergès, whose family-run restaurant La Table de Beaurecueil is located in Beaurecueil, a village at the foot of Montagne Sainte-Victoire. The mountain is said to have inspired artists such as Cézanne, Picasso, and Kandinsky. a b c "Obituary: Paul Ricard". Independent. 22 October 2011. Archived from the original on 13 July 2021 .

For a strong Ricard, you can add an equal measure of water. However, it’s often drunk at a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio. Ricard is usually served in a tall highball glass but there are smaller glasses made specifically for pastis, too. You can also add icecubes, too. Clad in a Hawaiian shirt and tartan-framed sunglasses, Bergès says his cooking is informed by his surroundings. “I’ve always liked to make connections between products from the region, be it lavender with fish, or thyme or rosemary in a soufflé,” he says. The oregano and agave nectar are muddled. All the ingredient are then shaken with ice, and then strained into a chilled coupe glass. Ricard delivers an overall unctuous and sweet nosefeel. The bouquet is quite rich without being too intense. It consists of aromas like aniseed, fennel, and ginger. However, the aniseed dominates it. In terms of complexity, it’s quite simple. Indeed, it doesn’t compare (and shouldn’t be confused) with authentic absinthe.
