Ricard Pastis de Marseille is the quintessential French anise-flavored aperitif, created by Paul Ricard in 1932 and inspired by the sun-soaked spirit of Provence. Bursting with the bold flavors of star anise, licorice root, and a secret blend of aromatic herbs, this iconic liqueur transforms when mixed with cold water—clouding into a refreshing, milky elixir known as the “French milk.” Traditionally enjoyed as a slow-sipping aperitif, Ricard delivers a crisp, complex taste with a distinctly Mediterranean character that’s both timeless and transportive.
750 ml, 45% ABV
This anise-based spirit is still made using Paul Ricard’s original recipe, which has remained a secret since 1932.
