Syrups (Non-Alcoholic) to Mix with Pastis
A couple of my classmates hail from Marseille, in the south of France, home of pastis, the anise-flavored liqueur that is mixed with water for an explosive aperitif! (At 90 proof, you don't want to drink too many before dinner.)
-------------
They gave me some hints about syrups that you could mix with pastis to make some delicious and sweeter cocktails. With orgeat, an almond-flavored sweet liqueur, you can make a Mauresque. There are others, but I'll leave it to you to check the link below to find out what you can make with pastis.
Because of its strong, distinctive flavor, pastis doesn't make the best mixer like vodka. But there are some interesting combinations listed there.
---------------
Price of almond liquor orgeat at gourmet boutique: 4,20 EUR ($5.80)
Price of mint syrup at Lidl discount supermarket: 0,98 EUR ($1.30)
