Got the in laws coming over from France next week and le beau-pere's preferred tipple is Ricard or Pastis as expected. I normally bring some back over from France when we go but forgot last time. So, looking for suggestions of where I can get it in the UK without having my eyeballs out.

Any ideas folks?
 
Any specialist offy should sell pastis, as well as the more upmarket supermarkets & delis. It's not a particularly special drink.
 
Epic first reply !

Don't worry they've been coming over for 11 years. They've tried plenty British. Ricard is his drink and it's about being a good host!
 
Lidl are doing Pastis for £15 a litre, they normally get it in for xmas along with some Calvados, both pretty drinkable. Waitrose do a fairly nice artisan Pastis for about £20 for a bottle.
 
I thought better of you, I really did.

Linen suit, Panama hat, glass of Pastis & a copy of the (incredibly overpriced and miniaturised) Daily Telegraph. What could be more fantastic?

A wool three-piece, a glass of 18 year-old Glenlivet, a cuban cigar and a table at The Albannach? :p

A beautiful woman sharing such fine pursuits is obviously preferable, but not required.
