Ricard Anise Liqueur 700ml

Ricard: France's most iconic aniseed aperitif

Ricard is the quintessential anise-flavored aperitif from the South of France, created in Marseille in 1932 by Paul Ricard. This pastis-style drink is made from star anise, licorice, and a secret blend of aromatic herbs that give it a dry, spicy, and refreshing profile. Its transformation when mixed with water—turning a milky, opalescent hue—is a classic French ritual that highlights its aromatic complexity. Ricard is not a traditional anise, but a drink with its own identity that embodies the Mediterranean art of living.
