The liqueur that is called Pastis is the
direct descendant of the infamous absinthe, the favorite drink of fin de siecle
Paris. The flavor comes from licorice and seeds of the star anice plant (an
important ingredient in the outlawed absinthe), whose pods resemble starfish.
Anis liqueurs are the most popular liqueurs in France and the Mediterranean
countries. Absinthe was the classic anis spirit. An herbalist, working with the
local plant called wormwood, thought to be the magical cure for everything, made
the first batch. He found the curative properties of his discovery enhanced
when he steeped the herbs in 136 proof alcohol, which became the traditional
strength for Absinthe. In the 1890's, artists, poets, and society types made
absinthe, "the green goddess", the drink of cafe and bistro society. They drank
it with ice cold water, added drop by drop through a special spoon and a sugar
cube. By 1905, reformers and politicians jumped on a bandwagon against the evil
Absinthe. In 1915 absinthe, a convenient scapegoat for France's appalling losses
in WWI, was banned. Absinthe had a huge following despite its increasingly bad
public reputation. Most manufacturers used a trace of wormwood, and some used
none at all. When the axe fell, they simply relabeled their product anis with
little or no reformulation.
