Pernod was founded in 1805 and was once absinthe-based. It quickly gained popularity and broad recognition among the French in the 1800s. After absinthe was banned in 1920, Pernod began to be made from star anise and is now the Pernod we know today.
Pernod is a fantastic liqueur that can be enjoyed in various ways. You can drink it neat, use it in cooking, or mix it with water, which turns the drink completely milky white.
