pastis
Cloudy anise aperitif
Pastis is a French anise-flavored liqueur, typically diluted with water before drinking.
When water is added, it turns from clear to cloudy—a transformation called the louche effect.
Popular in southern France as an apéritif: We ordered pastis at a café in Marseille.
Similar to absinthe but without wormwood.
