Pernod is liberally bashed as the "blehhhch! x-factor" ingredient in cocktails because of its strong licorice flavor. It is definitely an acquired taste, but is absolutely great for cooking! It's almost mandatory in Oysters Rockefeller and is really great with mussels too. If you like shellfish, I'll bet that bottle will be gone in no time!
