Question

i am asking the origin, any info on chemical construction of these liquors. are they like wine? sulfites? any info on these mystery liquors for me. thanks

and apperitives?

Answer 1

Anis is a flowering herb, the liquid of which smells and tastes like licorice (which comes from a bean plant and its root). It is the main ingredient in absinthe and sambuca. The chemicals in anis can also be used in the preparation of psychotropic drugs.

An apperitif is any drinks consumed before the main meal meant to spike the appetite. Sherry is common in English, ouzo in Greek.

Answer 2

Hmm...I doubt if I will be able to answer it. I know anis is actually a spice. So.....I would assume that a particular liquor would have that spice in it. As far as wine or sulfites, todays mass production wines all contain sulfites. Its part of the "preservation" process. The only time you will not see sulfites in a particular wine, is if the winery is organic, and or trying to make wine the old fashion way, in small batches. As to your question about an apperitive, isn't that just an appetizer drink? Like a martini? A before dinner drink. Sorry, I couldn't be more help!

Answer 3

Anis (anisette) tastes like licorice.

An Italian anise-flavored liqueur mainly consumed in France and Spain. It is sweeter than most anise-flavored liqueurs (such as pastis), and also has a lower alcohol content (typically 25% by volume, versus 40%). It, like pastis, was first created to replace absinthe. Marie Brizard is the best-known brand of anisette. Anisette is an ingredient in a Nightcap.

A sweet liqueur made by macerating 16 different seeds and plants and blending the maceration with a neutral spirit and sugar syrup. Anisette should not be confused with Pernod, which is made using star anise (the fruit of the evergreen, Chinese star anise tree) rather than aniseed (the seed of the Mediterranean anise plant, a member of the parsley family).

Answer 4

Anise is a common flavoring for everything from soup to cookies, and is popular in many parts of the world. One of the most prominent uses of anise is its inclusion in various liqueurs (sweetened spirits distilled with natural ingredients such as fruits and herbs) and unsweetened liquors such as absinthe, arak, and raki. Although there are many local variations on anise-flavored beverages, a common element is their ability to be “louched,” that is to turn cloudy when water is added to the liquor. This occurs because the oil from the anise remains suspended in higher concentrations of alcohol, but is released when the concentration decreases.
