We are no stranger to anise flavored drinks. We have an entire episode on absinthe. Ouzo however is one liquor that intrigued us. It turns out even though it is a fairly young alcohol it has lots of relatives that much older. Over all we really enjoued ouzo and we hope you will too. Stin iyia mas!
Eighty two episodes ago we sat down for a session that has become one of our favorite recordings to date. We sampled all the Trappist beers there were to offer. Since then several breweries have been added to the list. We couldn’t resist the urge to sample the newest monks on the block. Of course we didn’t want to sample them alone. We just had to have some of our network hosts along for the ride.
What do you do when you hear about a alcohol that is described as tasting like a burnt condom filled with gasoline? You find the closest place they sell it and pick some up. Then you go share it with your friends. We had such and adventure just searching for this elusive Chicagoan drink that we couldn’t wait to try it. This liquor is so packed with flavor we had to have two guests to contain it.
