Anise-flavored liqueur
Marie Brizard brand anisette[ 1] Anisette , orAnis , is ananise -flavoredliqueur that is consumed in mostMediterranean countries. It is colorless and, because it contains sugar, is sweeter than dry anise flavoured spirits (e.g.absinthe ). The most traditional style of anisette is that produced by means of distilling aniseed,[ 2] maceration by the inclusion of the worddistilled on the label.
The liqueur is often mixed with water or poured over ice cubes because of its strong flavour.[ 3]
Pastis is a similar-tasting liqueur that is prepared in similar fashion and sometimes confused with anisette. It employs a combination of both aniseed andlicorice root extracts.Sambuca is essentially an anisette of Italian origin that requires a high minimum (350g/L) sugar content.
