Greek Jelly Bean

"Posted for ZWT #6's tour of Greece, Ouzo can be served straight in a shot glass or over ice in an old-fashioned or highball glass with a pitcher of water to dilute to taste. Ouzo is also an ingredient in several cocktails. Here is a summer drink where you can tailor the potency by altering the amount of lemonade."

  1. WAY better than a stinky old Easter egg. Hoppy Easter 2018!
     
  2. Delicious! Used homemade lemonade and I think my dash of blue was a little heavy... made for parting gifts challenge zwt9.
     
  3. What a fabulous cocktail! I really enjoy Ouzo drinks, and I think the lemon juice in this recipe added an element that makes this drink stand out among all the rest. I used my favorite Old Fashioned Lemonade recipe for the lemonade ingredient. And I think that helped to make this a winning recipe that is going right into my "keeper" folder. Thanks for sharing your recipe, CaliforniaJan.
     
  4. This is a great drink. But we would have enjoyed it more with just half of it in a smaller glass. Thanks California Jan :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
     
  5. Made his for my ouzo loving boyfriend. I used Recipe #23038 and made a quick lemonade, I used store lemon juice since I was mixing it with things. He loved it, it gave him that friday afterwork relaxation he needed. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT 6.
