Vintage Ricard Pacific miniature, anise-flavored drink, old blue label

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This antique miniature bottle features a small transparent glass bottle filled with a cloudy, pale yellow liquid, typical of anise-flavored drinks. Its cap is blue with a slight relief visible on top. The main label, placed on the front, bears the name "PACIFIC" in yellow capital letters on a blue background, accompanied by the mention "RICARD" just below. A stylized illustration of white sailboats against a blue sky also appears on the label, highlighting the brand's visual identity. The mentions "boisson aux extraits d’anis" (anise extract drink) and "boisson sans sucre" (sugar-free drink) are clearly indicated on the label, the first in small print, the second in yellow on a brighter blue background.

The design of this bottle evokes a retro aesthetic, probably from the 1980s or 1990s, with its vibrant colors and graphic style typical of that period. The bottle has a compact format, characteristic of promotional miniature bottles or samples of spirits and anise-flavored drinks. No significant signs of wear or chips are visible on the front, and the cap appears unopened.

The liquid content is still present, giving the object a special appeal for collectors of antique bottles. The overall presentation suggests a promotional or collector's item related to the Ricard brand, specifically the Pacific product, a sugar-free anise-flavored drink. The bottle is placed on a varnished wooden surface, in an antique interior setting, but this does not affect the object itself.

The typography and graphic style of the label, as well as the explicit mention of the manufacturer Ricard, confirm the authenticity of the object as a period product, easily identifiable by connoisseurs of French anise-flavored drinks.

The inscriptions visible on the label are:
PACIFIC
RICARD
Boisson aux extraits d’anis
BOISSON SANS SUCRE

Did you know? The Pacific drink was launched by Ricard in the 1980s as an alcohol-free and sugar-free alternative to traditional pastis, to meet the growing demand for lighter anise-flavored drinks. It stands out for its recipe based on natural anise extracts and the complete absence of added sugar.
