Ouzo is a dry anise-flavored aperitif that is widely consumed in Greece.
The spirit's characteristic taste comes from carefully selected herbs and spices - aniseed, star anise, fennel, nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon and cardamom. These are distilled in traditional copper pot stills and the resulting liquid is placed in barrels to marry the complex flavors until they attain the full, distinctive taste for which Ouzo 12 is famous.
Ouzo 12 is best drunk either neat, on the rocks, or mixed long with water, lemonade or soda.
