do u like ouzo?

Answer 1

I'm not a big fan of licorice, so no. If it comes down to it, I prefer Sambuca to Ouzo. Similar flavor, but Sambuca is a little smoother. Some people think Jagermeister is licorice flavored, but it's not. It's actually sassafrass flavoring and cheap liquer that makes it taste like cough syrup.

Answer 2

Ouzo is best when served ice cold with a Greek meal. Either before the meal or after. It is Greek tradition or at least Greek Restaurant tradition to serve a Ouzo with a meal.
One Greek Restaurant would serve a ouzo with a fig in it, different.
When I was in Greece I discovered that Ouzo is not always Ouzo. In Crete I was meet some Cretans who traditionally drink Raki not Ouzo tell me the brand of the best Ouzo made. I went from town to town from store to store until finally I found this Ouzo and I have to admit it was great. The body was smooth, Strong but not overpowering, the flavor was pleasant and mild and kind of coolly lingered. After a meal of Dollimades, in the hot evening sun of Crete with the cool breeze coming off the Mediterranean it was the best Ouzo ever.

I do not remember the name but it was the only Ouzo I found that had a cork instead of a metal cap.

Answer 3

Speaking as a Greek-American, I like it but only in small doses. Preferably as an accompaniment to appetizers like stuffed grape leaves, spinach-and-cheese pies, meatballs and feta cheese with olives.

HINT- never drink ouzo straight up unless you are only having one shot (for luck). It's best to drink it on the rocks, as ouzo will take on a milky consistency and makes it easier to drink.

For large meals, I prefer Kourtaki retsina. This resin-based wine is less "piney" than other brands of retsina, and many of my American friends swear that it tastes like a chardonnay.

Just my $0.02.

Opa!

Answer 4

Ouzo is far too reliable, Zambuca is a 'panty-waist' call, yet you should use Anisette in extraordinarily plenty any recipe for cookies. I additionally think of that because of the fact it comes from the famous man or woman Aniseed it has some chilly busting properties. i like the black licorice flavour and that i like the flavor of aniseed all around.

Answer 5

Yes, I buy some Metaxa ouzo occasionally. It is fun to amaze people with its turning from clear to milky when I add water. My lover Miyuki from Japan was astounded and asked much about this liquor. I told her it is from Greece. I hear Turkish rakshi is similar.

Smart Greek's don't drink Ouzo, they sell it to everybody else!

I'm not crazy about the licorice flavor, but it's a very pretty drink visually, and I do like the buzz it gives.
