"This is my own concoction. I'm really pleased with the results. The anise flavour of the ouzo is very nice with the citrus. Use your citrus of choice - I make it with all 3, depending on what I'm in the mood for and what's at hand."

Very good,it calls for a second one.Will make again.Made this more then once so far. -
Very interesting concoction, indeed. I made it with orange/grapefruit juice and it was ok. I am used to drinking ouzo as the french drink pernod or ricard, which are very similar aniseed drinks to ouzo, with some plain water to make it all misty and a splash of grenadine. -

Well this was interesting. I think you have to develop a taste of ouzo, which is so different to me. I used a lemon-lime drink (Sierra Mist)in place of the fruit drinks and didn't have a highball glass so just used a tumbler, thus no photo for this one. Thanks EV -
Whew! That ouzo really gave me a punch in the shoulder. Hehe! Next time I will either have to lighten up on the ouzo or increase the orange juice. Just for fun, I think I will do the latter. Lovely and tasty! -
The first sip was good, the second one even better, and after the third I definitely knew I would fix myself another drink! I used grapefruit juice and loved it that way! Well done, Ev!

Sambuca I like with coffee, but Ouzo was initially a bit too strong for me, but I too decided to give this recipe 5 stars after getting used to it. Instead of grenadine I used pomegranate juice. I don't know whether the two are interchangeable but it makes for a very healthful drink with grapefruit juice (if you can excuse the liquor being there too):D

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
