Pastis
Pastis is an anise flavoured spirit, an aperitif that originated in France and popularised by Paul Ricard in 1932. Pastis was introduced 17 years after the ban on Absinthe, on allegations of it being a psychoactive drug and a hallucinogen, and people were still wary of high proof anise drinks, but the cult of Absinthe and the Mediterranean tradition of anise liquors like sambuca, ouzo, arak, raki and anis made Pastis what it is, immensely popular in France.
Note that, although Pastis is usually compared to its historical predecessor, Absinthe, but Pastis doesn't have one major ingredient of Absinthe, the Grand Wormwood ( Artemisia absinthium ), from which Absinthe derives it's name. Moreover, Pastis is derived from Star Anise , an Asian spice and has the additional flavour of Liquorice root, whereas Absinthe is traditionally distilled from Green Anise and Fennel, both being Mediterranean herbs.
Pastis is bottled at 40–45% ABV.Chilled Still Water
Water might seem like one ubiquitous ingredient in any alcoholic beverage, and to have no specific purpose other than dilute the alcohol, to prevent irritation and burn, it has more purpose to its presence than it seems.
Water breaks the alcohol molecules and attaches to them and releases the esters that holds the secret to the aroma into the drink and to the nose. Temperature of water is important and although almost all cocktails are served chilled, be sure to understand the role water plays in a drink. Another factor is the quality of water, if you are serious about your cocktail, be sure to use the best neutral tap water or preferably bottled spring water if possible.Angostura Bitters
Angostura Bitters is a concentrated bitters based on gentian, herbs and spices, from the House of Angostura in Trinadad and Tobago. Note that the Angostura Bitters from the House of Angostura do not contain Angostura bark.
However, Angostura Bitters or Angobitter offered by other brands like Riemerschmid and Hemmeler, contain angostura bark, possibly to justify using the word "Angostura" in their names.
