Pastis is the summer drink of Provence. Nothing better than some icecubes, ice cold water and a generous splash of this aniseed liquor mixed for a refreshing sundowner - perfect for these hot summer days that spread into balmy nights when friends gather together around the pool or BBQ.
My friend Thérèse surprised us with delicious if rather boozy summer nibbles: she marinates our wonderful Cavaillon melons with pastis and serves them straight from the fridge. You hardly need a drink alongside and still have the excuse that this counts towards your five a day....
What a great idea, it sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris!
DeleteThis is such a delicious "boozy nibble" and a terrific presentation - as you said, perfect for summer entertaining!

I am sure you get good melons in Bonn, too Andrea so have fun!
DeleteWe had a bit too much pastis at our local Bastille Day party here last weekend! :-) But I'm sure those melons would be tasty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joy!
DeletePastis is new to me. Now I am very curious to give it a try.

Madonna, if you like Sambucca you will like Pastis I think.
