Reason Ouzo is on my bucket list is because it’s one of those traditional alcohols in a country similar to Chinese rice wine Japanese saki or whiskey in Ireland.

 I’m very lucky that I got a try it granted it’s about as rough as you can go there is  really not much of a story here.

 I went to a beautiful specialty liquor store and got a bottle ouzo I cracked open and tried it and it tasted like gasoline and black licorice.

It has a very similar taste to absinthe with Star anise it’s actually quite a nice flavour if you mix it in with a little bit of water or  club soda but first time I drank it it was straight and all my god it burnt on the way down.

God bless that stuff and anyone who drinks it.
