Ginger Lime Swizzle

Cocktail Description

The Ginger Lime Swizzle delivers a fascinating collision of anise and citrus that completely transforms the traditional pastis experience.

This refreshing highball combines the distinctive licorice notes of Ricard Pastis with bright, freshly squeezed lime juice, all lightened by the spicy effervescence of ginger ale. The result is surprisingly balanced—the herbal complexity of the pastis softens under the acidic lime while the ginger provides a warming counterpoint. It's remarkably simple to prepare, requiring just a quick pour and stir, making it perfect for warm afternoon gatherings or as a pre-dinner drink when you want something unique but unfussy. The Ginger Lime Swizzle pairs beautifully with Mediterranean appetizers like tapenade or grilled seafood, where its anise notes complement rather than compete with the food. For the best experience, serve it ice-cold with plenty of lime to emphasize its refreshing character.
