National Anisette Day. It was the only choice I could find for today. On July 2nd, we observe National Anisette Day. Aniseed from the anise herb gives anisette its licorice or fennel flavor. While usually a dry dry liqueur, distillers sometimes add a sugar syrup for a sweeter result. Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France lead the world in drinking this licorice tasting drink.

The herb of the aniseed, usually the main ingredient in anisette, is considered to have medicinal qualities. Sweeter than other anise-flavored liqueurs, anisette’s association with a variety cures date back to ancient Egypt. As a liqueur, anisette is distilled dryer in Europe than it is in the United States. Distillers add other spices such as coriander and fruit to distill anisette, too.

Well. at least it has medicinal value. Feel free to improve your health today!
