What is this Greek alcoholic drink usually after dinner?

Question

I remember when i was in Crete a few years back, after eating out in a restaurant, they always used to bring round a free alcoholic drink. It was usually either blue/red/yellow/purple i think. so there was maybe different flavours. but does anyone know what the drink is called?

Answer 1

Ouzo? Be carfeul with that stuff it is gnarly! It will make your clothes fall off!

Answer 2

ouzo?  ... I think that's how it's spelled, or something like that:)

Answer 3

It was called "raki". The people in Crete love to make foreigners and Greeks from other places drink this for free when they visit Crete!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raki_(alcoh...

Answer 4

ouzo is the national drink in Greece, but it is clear, until mixed with water or ice, when it turns milky.

Nasty stuff.  Tastes like black licorice.  I have no idea what you were served.
