Pernod Fils (French pronunciation: [pɛʁnoˈfis]) was the most popular brand of absinthe throughout the 19th century until it was banned in 1915. During the Belle Époque , the Pernod Fils name became synonymous with absinthe, and the brand represented the de facto standard of quality by which all others were judged.
In 1975, the companies of Ricard and Pernod Fils, the two largest French aniseed aperitif producers and fierce competitors, [12] merged creating the Pernod Ricard group, which currently owns the Ricard company. [13] After the merger, in 1978, Patrick Ricard became the CEO of the Pernod Ricard group which he held until his death on 17 August 2012.

When absinthe fell into disfavor in the early 20th century, ouzo was one of the products whose popularity rose to fill the gap; it was once called "a substitute for absinthe without the wormwood". [3] In 1932, ouzo producers developed a method of distillation using copper stills that is now the standard method of production.
It is currently produced in France by Pernod Ricard, and in the United States by Heaven Hill Distilleries of Bardstown, Kentucky. The French made version is 14.8% alcohol by volume and the US version 19%. [3] The beverage is famous in the UK for having been the favourite drink of Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. [5]
This action is the same when cool water is added to ouzo. I do disagree with the article that ouzo could be a substitute for absinthe without the wormwood. A better substitution would be Pernod, which is from the original manufacturer of absinthe, and is truly absinthe without the wormwood (and yes, the louches also).
