"Ouzo. Geek liquor that tastes like black liquorice.
I knew about ouzo, but I hadn't thought of it as a geek liquor!"
Redhead would love that...she's a geek who likes licorice...I canNOT abide the taste of licorice! (I actually went out of my way at Heathrow to find her some licorice candy)...she even likes licorice popscicles! [GAH!!!]
I remember, as a kid, my delight when the corner grocery some blocks awat started serving licorice ice-cream cones -- "Midnight (something-or-the-other)" flavor.
