Pastis

Like absinthe, only legal. Essential resources for anyone interested in Provence's "national drink".
Provence's famous pastis (along with its close cousin, anis - they are both referred to as "aniseed spirits" on the Pernod-Ricard corporate website) began as a legal alternative to the recently-outlawed absinthe

After a long pause, some absinthe is now being manufactured in various parts of the world, and is available for sale in a variety of countries. It remains illegal in France (if fondly remembered) , however.
