Pernod Paris is a popular, unsweetened French anise-flavored liqueur made from star anise, fennel, and other botanicals, created in 1805 by Henri-Louis Pernod. It is known for its refreshing, subtle anise and herbaceous flavors. The drink is traditionally served diluted with cool water and ice, a method known as "the French way," but can also be mixed with lemonade, orange juice, or used in cocktails.
