茴香利口酒

茴香利口酒（，或Anis）是一种茴芹风味的力娇酒，主要消费市场在地中海地區，包括法国、意大利、西班牙、葡萄牙與土耳其等地。与某些茴香风味的酒不同，茴香利口酒是透明无色的，且不含甘草。Regulation (EC) No. 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of spirit drinks. no 25 defines “Aniseed-flavoured spirit drinks are spirit drinks produced by flavouring ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin withnatural extracts of star anise (Illicium verum Hook f.), anise (Pimpinella anisum L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), or any other plant which contains the same principal aromatic constituent, using one of the following processesor a combination thereof:” Etc.  Ibid. n. 26 difines: “Pastis is an aniseed-flavoured spirit drink which also contains natural extracts of liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza spp.),which implies the presence of the colorants known as ‘chalcones’ as well as glycyrrhizic acid, the minimum and maximum levels of which must be 0,05 and 0,5 grams per litre respectively.”茴香利口酒是通过蒸馏生产的。法国茴香酒（Pastis）的口味与茴香利口酒差不多，然而是通过浸泡生产的，并且含有茴香籽和甘草。珊布卡是意大利版本的茴香味力娇酒。

 饮用 
茴香利口酒比大多数茴香味力娇酒要甜，因为酿制过程中会加入糖浆。因为度数很高，直接饮用茴香利口酒时刺激性很强，甚至会造成喉咙不适，因此建议兑水慢慢饮用。茴香利口酒可以与别的饮料勾兑饮用，产生可接受的、带淡淡甜味的味道。通常将茴香利口酒与水混合饮用，混合后会乳化成乳白色浓稠液体。在西班牙语中称之为“palomita”。需要将酒和冰水同时倒入杯子中，如果只是将酒倒入水中，那么效果是完全不同的。混合后的酒水越白，说明茴香利口酒的品质越好。
