Fennel
SpiceAutumnUsed in ~4 drinks
Fennel delivers a clean, vegetal anise character that sits lighter and greener than licorice or star anise. It brings a crisp, herbaceous sweetness to cocktails — think pastis diluted with ice water, where the louche reveals that delicate seed-driven aromatics. In mixed drinks, fennel acts as a bridge between herbal bitterness and bright citrus.
Aroma
Fresh fennel fronds and crushed seeds on the nose, with a cooling green anise lift that softens into faint celery-like sweetness.
