I have Greek Oyzo, Never had it, how can I make a good tasting drink with it?

Question

I have a botle of Greek Oyzo. Whats the best drink I can make with it? I hear they put orange or honey .

Answer 1

In Greece we drink ouzo but we usually don't put anything in it other than water and ice!!But you should keep in mind that ouzo contains a lot of alcohol so you 'd better eat before you drink!!We usually prepare a plate with some tomatoes,olives,tiropitakia(cheese pies),sausages ect...etc

Answer 2

Greek Ouzo is excellent. Normally served with just a little ice and sip it slowly.

If you don't like it, send it to me- I have fond memories of sitting on the veranda over-looking the agean sea and sipping ouzo...

Answer 3

I grew up with a Greek family close to me.  They mixed theirs with plain soda, and honey.  Sometimes they would put a cinnamon stick in it.  by the way, if you have never had it before, be careful.  It is very strong and leaves a nasty headache the next day.

Answer 4

Ouzo tastes like licorice, so think candy flavors: citrus fruits work well (OJ, lemon, lime, etc). Generally you just add a touch of water and drink it, though.

Answer 5

Ouzo is meant to be drunk straight....over ice.

Answer 6

It's more of an after dinner drink, and aids with digestion. I'd save it for that purpose. There's pleny of easily attainable liquors more suitable for mixing and drinking whenever.
