I’m partial to pastis on a hot day, certainly one of france’s best exports.
With ice cold water, yes it`s refreshing
Can it be found cheaply in the eu? It’s always pricey here. Pernod and Ricard are the only Available brands

Cocktail with good Cognac or good Armagnac, shall normally get you beheaded all over france. It would be like saying: "I definitely should mix this eighteen years old Laphroaig with orange juice" in the heart Scotland.
Now, people mix bad Cognac with grapefruit juice and indian tonic. Honestly you don't need Cognac for that, you might as well buy an alcopop and pretend you're a sixteen years old girl.

As for Armagnac, the only "cocktail" I have ever had is Floc de Gascogne: you mix young Armagnac with fresh grape juice, then you let it sit in a cellar until the end of winter before filtering and embottling. Let it rest another ten month and you should be good.
Ok, it's a "cocktail" with a rather long preparation but it is certainly very good. Plus we all know you prepare all sorts of things home. This might be an idea.
I was also very shocked when I discovered that the French youth in the city of Cognac (and the whole region) youth up til 35 make cocktails on Cognac, while myself, I drink it like an old man and mostly when I wanna fall asleep like a baby.
Schweppes agrumes is the most common stuff the Frenchmen in Cognac itself mix their Cognac with.

For the little story I can tell you that the founder of Pastis born in Marseille is Paul Ricard (1909-1997) who is highly considered and especially in southern France (please do not mix up French Riviera with Provence). A very humble and modern man who was often ahead of his time.

You ought to know that there's a funny little "Pastis-war" between Marseille- people and the other cities nearby. In Marseille you drink the brand Pastis 51 (possibly Casanis) and anywhere else Ricard, even if both brands belong to Pernod-Ricard. Myself, I was a Pastis 51 rebel for a long time but I recently been converted to Ricard.

Also, it's common and accepted since ever to mix your pastis with a little syryp:
-with mint it's called Perroquet
-with grenadine it's called Tomate
-with orgeat (the most common mix) it's called Mauresque
-with Coca Cola, it's called Mazout (means heating oil...)

If you're having a small pastis in a mini glass, it's called Momie (mummy like dead human)
If you're having a double dose, you ask for a 102 (51x2...)

Very interesting information.

I think I wouldn`t mix anything in my pastis. Those examples you gave us there sound rather horrific to be honest
Drink!

May I please ask you to just read again all my proper behaviour/introduction? May I please ask you to accept that I'm French living in France but happen to speak your language?

Mr. Boozificator is an old school board member. He was merely asking a simple question. No need to go off about "who you are".

He also speaks your language by the way. He's French you see.

As we say in French: "tu viens de passer pour un couillon".
Sinon salut et profite bien du board, on y rencontre des gens extras.
