In gin, for example, fennel seeds are used to add a sweet and herbal note to the flavor profile, balancing out the piney and citrusy flavors of the juniper. they pair well with citrus and coriander.
In absinthe and pastis, fennel seeds are used to provide the characteristic licorice flavor that is so distinctive of these anise-flavored spirits.
