Top Shelf Pastis Flavouring

Pastis is a liqueur that tastes of refreshing aniseed. This is best enjoyed over ice on a nice hot summer’s day.

HOW TO USE THE FLAVOUR:

Shake well and add contents to 1.125 L (38 US fl oz) of 45% ABV neutral spirit. Serve 1 part Top Shelf Pastis with 5 parts fresh water.

WHAT TYPE OF SPIRIT TO USE.

The best spirit to flavour will be a neutral one, like vodka. A higher quality vodka will not have the same harshness as a cheaper vodka. Alternatively, you can make your own neutral spirit to flavour – this will certainly be the cheapest option and also the most rewarding.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO DISTIL YOUR OWN SPIRIT

The equipment required to make a spirit includes basic brewing equipment, which can be found in the ‘Starter kits’ section of our website. You will also need either a Still to distil your alcohol from a spirit wash (highly recommended), or you will need a high alcohol kit. There are two choices of stills on our website, the AirStill and the T500.
