LowABV Herbal

O Mauresque é um clássico refresco provençal francês que combina Ricard pastis (ou qualquer pastis) com xarope de orgeat e água fria, que transforma o destilado de anis de âmbar para um branco pérola opaco em uma reação chamada efeito louche. O orgeat adiciona doçura de amêndoa e corpo cremoso ao pastis dominado pelo anis. É uma das variações tradicionais do ritual pastis-com-água de Marselha.

History & Origins

The Mauresque — meaning 'Moorish' in French — is one of several traditional pastis-based drinks from Marseille and Provence that add flavored syrups to pastis and water. The practice of mixing pastis with grenadine, mint, or orgeat dates to the mid-20th century as a way to soften the strong anise character of the spirit. Mauresque refers specifically to the North African and Moorish influences on Provençal culture.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Strong anise and fennel from the pastis with a sweet almond note from the orgeat, intensified by the louche transformation upon water addition. Palate: Herbal and anise-dominant with creamy almond sweetness, medium body, and a refreshing cold water dilution. Finish: Long, cooling, and anise-forward with a lingering almond sweetness.

Pro Tip

Always add the water last — and never ice first, as it prevents the syrup and pastis from properly mixing before dilution occurs.
