Ricard Fizz

Cocktail Description

Think of the Ricard Fizz as the French Riviera in a glass—refreshing, sophisticated, and unapologetically Mediterranean.

This elegant cooler combines the distinctive anise flavor of Ricard Pastis with rich almond orgeat syrup, creating a complex sweet-and-herbal foundation that transforms magically when sparkling water is added. The drink turns a milky opalescent color as the water meets the pastis, while releasing aromatic notes of licorice, star anise, and sweet almond. Surprisingly simple to make—just two ingredients in a glass with water served alongside—it allows each person to customize the strength to their preference. The Ricard Fizz shines as an afternoon refresher during hot summer days or as a pre-dinner aperitif that stimulates the appetite. Its anise and almond profile pairs wonderfully with Mediterranean dishes like grilled sardines, olives, or classic French pâtés, but also stands up beautifully to spicier foods where its cooling effect provides pleasant contrast.
