Ricard (drink)
Ricard (; ) is a pastis, an anise and licorice-flavored apéritif, created by Marseille native Paul Ricard in 1932, who marketed it as the "true pastis from Marseille". History Pre-1915: Absinthe decline Aniseed-based liquors were popular in Southern Europe, i.e. ouzo and rakı in Mediterranean countries. Absinthe, an aniseed-based liquor largely produced by the Pernod Fils company, was the established "drink of choice" in France.

This prompted the French government in 1915 to enact legislation to ban all alcoholic drinks that were more than 16% alcohol, acting as a complete prohibition on aniseed-based drinks, due to their being suspected of undermining the French war effort. This prohibition was part of a global trend in that year, with prohibitions on absinthe bein ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
