    The smallest amount of Pernod I can find is 750ml, which I don't need. Any suggestions for alternates that come in smaller amounts that don't cost $30. I really like this idea and am eager to try it as part of my culinary education!

    Hi Michelle, on the one hand, I see that half bottles and 50 ml bottles of Pernod have been made, although I'm not familiar with their current availability. On the other hand, you might consider another licorice-flavored liquor as a substitute. Consider reaching out to a local liquor store to ask about availability that is best suitable to you. Cheers! Eric
