Splash some Pernod in a chilled cocktail glass, swirl it around well, then dump it out. Add ice to a cocktail shaker and pour all remaining ingredients into it. Shake and strain into glass.
My DH came home with the makings for this drink not realizing we had no vodka in the house. So I made it with some excellent Kentucky moonshine we had hanging around. A true keeper, I say. And may I suggest we call this version 'My Old Kentucky Hound?'
Added a bit extra Pom juice then… Took two ideas from others: — didn’t toss Pernod — added a Tblspoon of simple syrup to sweeten a bit more. Five stars for a cocktail that’s special and unique! Always looking for Pernod uses. Reminds me of my 20s in France🥰
It's a keeper! Bright flavor, lovely color, and I added just a bit of Agave for a touch more sweetness; seemed to bring it all together.

With bourbon or rye whiskey, this is almost a Sazerac. One of my favorite cocktails!
Mine wasn't the pretty pale color in the photo, but bright reddish-pink. I had only to sub Grand Marnier for Cointreau. This is the perfect Thanksgiving eve cocktail, and has made me much merrier after a long day of prep. Onward...
Why dump the Pernod ...drink it with a short beer chaser.
