A diversion from Trump vs DeSantis and Russia vs Ukraine.

If we are going to boycott Bud Light, we should switch to a drink that'll separate the wheat from the chaff.

Don't drink that swill Metaxa. Ouzo Mini is the best I ever had. The black licorice taste is deceptive - if you're not careful, this could be you.

The Lebanese make Arak, which is basically the same as Ouzo. It is very very strong. I don’t know who made it first.

It’s strange how it starts out clear but turns cloudy white when you add water or ice.

I always thought it tasted like paint stripper. Prefer bourbon

I like it. The first time I had it was when some pals took me to a Greek place before my wedding. We ended the evening with some ouzo. I swear it neutralized the garlic and onions on my breath.

Never heard of it

Sounds like a commercial

My brother was stationed in Greece in the mid 70s. My parents and I went to visit him. He and I and maybe my dad took a stroll in the village one evening and stopped at a store, I think. Did not look like a bar. I was offered a sip of ouzo, despite the fact that I was eleven. I liked it. But I have never had any since.

Have to pick Arak, like Arak Masada over any ouzo.

Arak and coke is a big thing in South America.

I spent time on the Greek island of Crete, specifically, Iraklion Air Base.

Raki was the drink of Crete:
