OUZO 12 OUZO 80 750ML

Greece's most iconic spirit — Ouzo 12 is the legendary anise-flavored liqueur that has been the heart of Greek hospitality since 1880. Named after the barrel number 12 at the original distillery, Ouzo 12 is the benchmark of the style: smooth, aromatic, and unmistakably Greek.

Crystal clear until water or ice is added — then it turns a beautiful milky white in the classic "louche" effect. Ouzo 12 delivers bold anise, fennel, and a warm herbal sweetness with a clean, refreshing finish that makes it the perfect aperitivo. Sip it the traditional Greek way: over ice with a splash of cold water, alongside mezze.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Ouzo turn white when you add water?

This is called the "louche" effect — the essential oils in anise are soluble in alcohol but not in water. When water is added, they come out of solution and create a milky white emulsion. It's completely normal and traditional.

How do Greeks traditionally drink Ouzo?

Ouzo is traditionally served over ice with a small amount of cold water in a tall glass, alongside small plates of mezze (appetizers) like olives, cheese, and seafood. It's a social, leisurely drink.

Can I use Ouzo in cocktails?

Yes — Ouzo works in cocktails calling for anise-flavored spirits. Try it in an Ouzo Sour, mixed with lemonade, or as a substitute for Pernod or Pastis in classic recipes.

What food pairs well with Ouzo?

Ouzo pairs beautifully with seafood, olives, feta cheese, grilled octopus, and other Mediterranean mezze. The anise flavor complements salty, briny foods perfectly.
