____ Ricard is a French company producing anise-flavoured aperitifs (6)

I believe the answer is:

pernod

(Other definitions for pernod that I've seen before include "Aniseed-flavoured drink" , "A liqueur flavoured with anise" , "French aperitif" , "Drink flavoured with aniseed" , "Ponder on this liqueur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
