The Meaning of Pastis…

Residents of Saint Johns might have noticed a new word appearing on local menus and in conversations around town: "Pastis." While not a household name for everyone, this anise-flavored aperitif is a traditional French drink, often enjoyed diluted with water, turning it a milky, opaque yellow. Its presence in Saint Johns suggests a growing interest in diverse culinary and beverage experiences within our community.

Local establishments, particularly those with a European flair or a desire to offer unique selections in the St. Johns Town Center, are beginning to feature Pastis. This could be a sign of evolving tastes among Saint Johns residents, or perhaps a nod to the increasing diversity of our town's population. Whether it's enjoyed as a pre-dinner drink or simply as a conversation starter, Pastis is adding a new flavor to the local scene.
