Greek Spirits
Ouzo
Greece has traditional spirits that the natives like to drink, including ouzo, masticha, and raki, among other types of unique liquors.
There is an old Greek saying, "ouzo makes the spirit,” and this is especially true in Greece. Ouzo is, by far, Greece's most famous alcoholic beverage. It's a sweet, strong alcoholic drink similar to a liqueur, which is made from the by-products of grapes after they've been used for wine. Drinking Ouzo in Greece is a cultural ritual that has its own special time and place, usually in the late afternoon or early evening, and always served cold with a small plate of food. In Greece, drinking Ouzo is just as much a part of the culture and the lifestyle as is Greek mythology and olive oil.
