Rare 1980s Vintage Ricard Pacific Anise Drink Miniature Bottle Sugar-Free

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Ricard advertising miniature represents a small bottle of Pacific anise-flavored drink, identifiable by its distinctive blue label and blue screw cap. The visible side shows a vintage label, typical of the 1980s, with "PACIFIC" in yellow letters on a blue background, followed by "RICARD" in white. The label also features a stylized illustration of a sailboat with several white sails on the sea, an emblematic graphic element of this non-alcoholic range.

The bottle is made of clear glass, revealing a milky-looking drink, consistent with the non-alcoholic anise specialty Pacific. The label on the lower part specifies "BOISSON AUX EXTRAITS D’ANIS - BOISSON SANS SUCRE" (ANIS EXTRACT DRINK - SUGAR-FREE DRINK), highlighting the product's specificity. Other legal and descriptive mentions are at the bottom of the label but are not all legible in this photo.

The blue screw cap is clearly visible and appears to be original. The overall design of the bottle, as well as the typography and graphic style, perfectly match the advertising codes of the 1980s, both in the choice of colors and the product presentation. No other accessories or elements are visible in the image.

The bottle has an authentic, antique appearance, with slight signs of wear on the label, a sign of its age and authenticity. The drink inside retains its original opacity, typical of anise-flavored drinks, even without alcohol.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The label shows some visible signs of wear. The bottle appears unopened, but this cannot be guaranteed without a view of the bottom or top of the cap. The contents are intact and consistent with their original appearance.

Did you know? The Pacific drink, launched by Ricard in the 1980s, was one of the first non-alcoholic substitutes for traditional pastis and anise-flavored drinks. It aimed to offer the taste of anise without the effects of alcohol, thus meeting the growing demand for alternative aperitif drinks in France. Its sailboat label evokes the freshness and Mediterranean spirit dear to the Ricard brand.
