I've seen it in bottle shops- if you know a place to have a wide selection, they probably have it. It's an anise-flavored liqueur from Greece, and is in my experience a love-hate type thing (I don't care for it, myself).

It is a liquorice flavored liquor. It is clear, but when ice is added it turns white. My wife is first generation greek american. Her church serves that stuff like coffee every sunday after services in the hall. i can down it, but perfer single malt scotch.

I happen to love Ouzo. Mix it about half and half with water.

This works well, or with ice kinda like scotch.
In Crete they take a shot before each meal kinda like Sake. Good stuff

This stuff is what makes life good. I even see it now at Supermarkets. But it is a love it or hate it thing. IMHO its a great thing to have when its really hot out.

With that kind of after service activity, I may have just found a new church.

It is a headache-in-a-bottle. Went through that stage years ago. I still kind of shudder to think about drinking it. Get good and wasted on it and you might understand.
