Yes. The workshop is aimed at both the curious and the enlightened connoisseur. Explanations help you understand the basics before analyzing the aromas.
No. Although very popular in summer, ouzo can be enjoyed all year round. It goes just as well with seafood meals as it does with winter gatherings.
In Greece, ouzo is served with fresh water or on the rocks. It is almost always accompanied by meze (small savoury dishes). It’s best sipped slowly, never as a shot.
Ouzo contains anise essential oils that are soluble in pure alcohol. When you add water, these oils disperse and create a natural reaction called the “ladle effect”, responsible for the milky white color.
