 Ouzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The distinctive smell of ouzo comes from the addition of anise (or star anise) as a flavouring, but other ingredients, varying according to the producer, are also used; common ingredients include coriander, cloves, angelica root, liquorice, mint, wintergreen, fennel, hazelnut, cinnamon and lime blossom.
Ouzo starts as a strong spirit made from pressed grapes or raisins.
The crystals sometimes seen in ouzo served cold are crystalline anethole, the constituent of anise aroma.

Ouzo is made from a combination of pressed grapes and herbs and berries.
The mezedes can be anything from a salad, stewed meat and vegetables, sardeles pastes (really fresh sardines), koukia (beans), sweetbreads, meatballs, cheese, sausage or fried fish.
It is usually served as an aperitif, but is also used in some mixed drinks and cocktails.

 Wine X Magazine
There are specialty tavernas, known as ouzeries, which serve their house brands of ouzo along with appetizer selections known as meze -- such things as pita bread, taramosalata (fish-roe salad), calamari, saganaki (fried cheese), grilled squid and local vegetables.
Produced from the pressings of grapes, called tsipoura, ouzo is a harsh, clear first distillate.
Ouzo is the classic Greek anise-flavored liqueur, though most countries along the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean have their own version, including the Sambuca of Italy, Raki of Turkey, and Pastis of France.

 Ouzo and the Traders of Genoa
After grapes have been pressed to extract the must (the liquid that will be fermented into wine) we are left with a mash consisting of stems, seeds and grape peels, all of which is distilled twice.
Ouzo, tsipouro, tsikouthia, raki – all are to be sipped slowly and their flavor savored.
Short-hand writing by traders renamed them Vinsanto, and that is how the wines are referred to this day, with most consumers being unaware of the origin of the grapes and their name.

 AlcoholReviews.com Reviews Achaia Clauss Ouzo
Ouzo's obvious and overwhelming characteristic is that smell- the smell of black licorice.
It's made of alcohol spirit, anisette, and various herbs, the latter of which typically are scarcely detectable (at least in the Ouzos you find in the U.S.).
If you drink it straight, drink only a small amount and do so before a meal (hopefully, though, it won't be breakfast) so to relax you and stoke your appetite.

 Ouzo and Metaxa: Do They Really Do That? (DCGreeks.com)
If you are like most Greek-Americans, you more than likely have at least one bottle of ouzo and/or one bottle of Metaxa in your house somewhere.
They don't mix well with anything (When's the last time you went into a club and asked for an ouzo and tonic or a Metaxa and Coke?), they're too strong to be drunk on weekdays, and not too many of your friends, Greek or non-Greek, enjoy the taste of either, especially ouzo.
But now it is several years later, and you have one or both of these bottles and you don't know what to do with them.
