What is a well-known drink from Greece?

Ouzo is a dry anise-flavoured aperitif that is widely consumed in Greece and Cyprus. It is made from rectified spirits that have undergone a process of distillation and flavoring. Its taste is similar to other anise liquors like rakı, arak, pastis and sambuca.

Ouzo has its roots in tsipouro (brandy from Greece), which is said to have been the work of a group of 14th-century monks on Mount Athos. One version of it was flavoured with anise. This version eventually came to be called ouzo.

I felt it tastes similar to black licorice.Never had a hang over the next day from it.

My dad did get it from the companies he worked for in Greece in the 70s. Sometimes they did put a bottle in his bag before he had to fly home. Without him knowing it.

Every time I've tried ouzo, as soon as it hits my stomach it tries to come right back up. But after I've gotten it down, sure do like the feeling, just not the taste. ;-)
