I was about to say ‘Ouzo’. Maybe the word you used means the same liqueur. It pours out clear and turns whitish when combined with ice. Powerful stuff when purchased in Greece.
Thats the stuff
lee martell - I was about to say ‘Ouzo’.
I knew some Greek Gangsters who would regularly drink five star Ouzo, and once I got to try seven star Ouzo. Yummy!
I has to drag a greek shipmate out of a greek wedding at 7Am in France, they were smashing dishes and drinking ouzo lol
A line I still remember after decades is from Barefoot In The Park. It's between two characters after a night of drinking Ouzo:
Ethel: I feel like we’ve died and gone to heaven. . .only we had to climb up.
Paul: Struck down in the prime of life.
Ethel: It isn’t exactly that I feel sick. . .just kind of numb. I can’t make a fist.
Paul: You want to hear something frightening? My teeth feel soft.
