Staff Pick Notes

I'm a sucker for the classics. Imagining Jean-Pierre Melville films playing at the local cinemateque, old men are playing Petanque nearby, and me, at the Brasserie in Marseilles, waiting for my Bouillabase. But first, a glass of Ricard Anis. The preparation is simple, but the order is important. In a collins glass, pour 1 part Ricard to 4 parts cold water. Watch the color change to a cloudy yellow as all the oils and flavor compounds are released. Known as the louche effect, it is visually striking. Add plenty of ice and give a thorough stir. The flavor profile is immediate and primary, STAR ANISE, while the texture is oily and mouth coating. Not sophisticated and most definitely out of fashion. Maybe that's why I love it.
