The louche - the milky cloudiness that appears when water hits pastis - is caused by anethole, the essential oil in anise, precipitating out of solution; always add water last to enjoy the full visual effect.

From the Bartender

The louche - the milky cloudiness that appears when water hits pastis - is caused by anethole, the essential oil in anise, precipitating out of solution; always add water last to enjoy the full visual effect. Ice should go in before the water so the dilution is controlled and the louche develops gradually.
