Etymology

The word 'anisette' originates from the French term 'anis', which means anise, derived from the Latin 'anisum' and the Greek 'anฤซson'. The use of anise in alcoholic beverages can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was valued for its aromatic properties and digestif qualities. Over time, different cultures adapted the flavor of anise into their local spirits, leading to the creation of anisette in the 19th century in France. It has since become popular in various Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries, where it is often consumed as a traditional drink during meals and celebrations. The distinctive sweet taste and aroma of anisette have contributed to its lasting appeal among liqueur enthusiasts.
