For the UK gin was the original alco-pop - alcohol + flavour + water but for the French it was Pastis. Plus Pastis was an excellent science experiment.
Because Pastis contains terpenes which are insoluble below 30 percent ethanol by percentage, when you dilute with water and break the 30% threshold the drink becomes cloudy. Wow - two clear liquids make a cloudy one :-o
So learning and it gets you very sloshed so long as you love that aniseed flavour.
Now do all of the above in the correct glasses as we all are aware by now, use of incorrect glasses when drinking alcohol increases the chance of a hangover.
