Anis Combier
In stock
Anis Combier is a traditional French anise liqueur built around a historic 19th-century recipe. Its character is shaped by Spanish green anise and Provençal fennel, placing it firmly in the classic world of anise-based drinks rather than among modern, neutral interpretations.
The liqueur is distilled by Distillerie Combier in Saumur, in the heart of the Loire Valley. The house dates back to 1834, and that sense of continuity is part of what makes this bottle interesting. At Drankenshop Broekmans, it sits naturally among drinks chosen for customers who appreciate traditional recipes with a clear origin.
At 45% vol., Anis Combier has the strength associated with this style, while keeping the focus on its central ingredients: green anise and fennel.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about aniseed drinks
What is Raki?
Raki is a traditional Turkish drink, often referred to as "the lion's milk" because of its milky colour when water is added. It is usually made from grapes or sultanas, with the addition of anise seeds. Raki is often drunk as an aperitif and goes well with mezes, small snacks popular in Turkish cuisine.
What is Pastis?
Pastis is a popular French aperitif drink that originated in Provence. It was developed as a replacement for absinthe, which was banned in the early 20th century. The drink is based on star anise, liquorice and various herbs. When water is added to Pastis, the colour changes to a milky white, similar to Raki.
What is Sambuca?
Sambuca is an Italian liqueur with a strong anise flavour and a sweet profile. It is often drunk straight, with three coffee beans in it, symbolising health, wealth and happiness. Sambuca can also be served flambéed or as an additive in coffee.
What is Ouzo?
Ouzo is a Greek anise liqueur distilled from grape residues and flavoured with anise and other spices. Like Raki and Pastis, Ouzo turns into a milky substance when mixed with water. It is often enjoyed as an aperitif and goes well with Greek mezze.
What are the similarities between sambuca, raki, pastis and ouzo?
The most obvious common feature of these drinks is their anise flavour, which gives a sweet, aromatic and sometimes slightly sharp note to the drink.
In addition, Raki, Pastis and Ouzo share another common feature: their reaction to water, where they take on a milky colour through a process known as "louche". This phenomenon occurs when the essential oils in anise, which are soluble in alcohol but not in water, form emulsions.
What are the differences between sambuca, raki, pastis and ouzo?
Raki, Pastis and Ouzo have strong similarities, especially when combined with water. However, Raki often has a slightly stronger anise flavour, Pastis can have liquorice notes and Ouzo has a characteristic Greek spiciness.
The sweetness and ability to detect coffee beans makes Sambuca easier to distinguish from the other three anise drinks.
