Anisette (also anis) is an anise-flavored liqueur mainly consumed in France, Italy, Portugal, Peru, Mexico and Spain. It is a colourless alcoholic beverage that has no licorice, like other anise-based drinks,. such as pastis, or the Italian anesone. It is produced through distillation of the fruit of the anise-plant, so small that usually is called anise-seed, and grows throughout the Mediterranean area. Another plants, such as the Chinese-anise-tree, also called star-anise tree, and fennel are also used for obtaining anethole. Anise is also used in desserts and pastry. Anethole is what gives to the drink its characteristic taste.
