De Michellot anisette liqueur, crafted at 35% vol. through traditional maceration of green anise seeds, meets a growing consumer demand for traceable artisanal French spirits. Here's why and how to feature it in your establishment.
The product: De Michellot anisette liqueur 35% vol.

Margin analysis: why this reference is profitable
The profitability calculation for a liqueur in HORECA relies on three variables: the raw material cost per centiliter, the average dosage per cocktail, and the menu selling price. De Michellot anisette liqueur is favorably positioned on all three axes:
- Controlled raw material cost — the 70 cl format offers one of the most competitive cost/cocktail ratios in the artisanal French liqueur segment. The 5L BIB format further reduces the unit cost for high-volume establishments.
- Efficient dosage — the concentrated aromatic profile allows a dosage of 1.5 to 3 cl per cocktail while still imparting the drink's signature. Less product used per serving = more margin per bottle.
- Justified menu selling price — the terroir argument (France), artisanal maceration, and absence of additives justify a premium positioning on the menu (signature cocktail at €14-18 in urban areas).
3 concrete applications for your menu
1. Anisette Tonic — the 30-second aperitif
Professional dosage: 4 cl De Michellot anisette (35% vol.), 12 cl premium tonic, citrus zest, ice cubes. Preparation time: 30 seconds. Estimated raw material cost: < €2. Recommended menu price: €12-14. A cost/price ratio that makes it one of the most profitable drinks on your aperitif menu.
2. Anisette Spritz — the French trend
Professional dosage: 4 cl De Michellot anisette, 9 cl brut sparkling wine, 3 cl sparkling water, seasonal garnish. A 100% French alternative to the Italian spritz, with a local sourcing argument that resonates with urban affluent clientele. The terroir storytelling sells itself on the menu.
3. Signature cocktail — your differentiation
Use the anisette liqueur as a signature ingredient to create an exclusive cocktail for your establishment. A dosage of 1.5 cl is enough to bring out the sweet anise note. Competitive advantage: no competitor in your area will have the same cocktail, as the reference is still not widely distributed in HORECA. This is a first-mover advantage.
Available professional formats

- 70 cl bottle — standard format for wine merchants, gastronomic restaurants, and low-turnover bars. Ideal for testing the reference before committing to volume.
- 2.5 L format — for establishments with medium turnover. Reduces replenishment frequency and logistical costs.

Selling point: terroir as a commercial lever
Sector studies show a fundamental trend: HORECA customers are increasingly preferring traceable spirits. De Michellot anisette liqueur, made in France from green anise seeds, ticks all the boxes for responsible sourcing. On a menu, the mention "artisanal maceration, France" generates a higher order rate than generic international references.
For wine merchants, the argument also works: the end customer is looking for an alternative to large industrial brands, with a terroir story and premium packaging that justifies the price positioning.
