Pernod-Bourbon Spritz image

An aperitif like this Pernod-Bourbon Spritz (pictured on the right) helps to stimulate the appetite, just the thing for before a celebratory feast like Thanksgiving. The two powerful ingredients, anise-flavored Pernod and caramely bourbon, are tempered by the addition of club soda and plenty of ice. A few drops of Angostura bitters brings it all together.

This cocktail was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try it with less simple syrup next time.

I didn't have any Pernod, so I used Anisette instead. It turned out great!

I thought the bourbon was a bit too strong in this cocktail. I might try it with less next time.
