I’ve had the same bottle of ouzo for six years.

I’ve never had a bottle of anything last that lot after being opened. I hate ouzo so very much. Sometimes a pour a glass and wonder if maybe today is the day when I will enjoy ouzo. It is never that day. That day will never come. Ouzo is vile and I hate it and Greece by association.

Never had it, but looked it up. So does it taste like black licorice?

I don’t have any. I hate any anise flavored liquor. It reminds me of paregoric my mom used to give me as a kid.

Yes it does, and its delicious. Just make sure you dilute it with some cold ice water though, my brother drinks it straight out of the bottle and that’s just nasty.

Doesn’t sound too bad, but then I know a lot of people who don’t like black licorice.

Anise flavored anything can go screw itself. Horribl e, nasty stuff. Blech.

Pat: Hugo, have you ever had Ouzo?

Hugo: I have had everything, my dear.

Pat: I was with two Greeks last night, and we drank ouzo. A lot of ouzo.

Hugo: And where, may I ask, was your husband when all this Greek, and ouzo business was going on?

Pat: Where he always is the night before a race. Trying to sleep.

I’ve had it and survived.

Barely. It’s awful. Anise can go fuck itself.

Like jagermeister but a bit less syrupy.

Relabel as Sambuca, and enjoy with espresso.

Yes, it does taste like black licorice. So whether or not you enjoy Ouzo depends on how you feel about that terrible flavor.

I was given a bottle of Ouzo for my 21st birthday. It sat in my liquor cabinet for over a year, and whenever one of my really cheap acquaintances was trying to get drunk for free I’d offer them the Ouzo. They’d gripe about the fact that I wasn’t sharing my whiskey, but I paid for that. Eventually, it was consumed, but mostly not by me.

Save the Ouzo for when your freeloading friends show up and want a drink. That’s what I did. Beggars can’t be choosers.

Ouzo is fucking delicious. What kind of alcoholic are you? The Italian equivalent is Sambuca. Take a shot, then chew a coffee bean. Finish that bottle.

That’s... brilliant.

It's the same reason that I kept a cheap tin of tobacco around when I used to smoke cigarettes. When you're paying $5-$6 a pack and you have friends that try to mooch smokes off of you all of the time, it's cheaper to let them roll their own.

I have a bottle of absinthe that I bought because I wanted to spend New Y ear’s Eve a couple years ago drinking S azeracs. Not all that much absinthe is needed when making a Sazerac. A Sazerac is like 93% rye, 2% absinthe, and 5% sugar and orange peel or whatever else goes in it that I’m forgetting. That bottle is going to last me a long time.

My old neighbors are the creator of Ouzon a soda flavored like Ouzo. More than once I had to try it. Not a fan of anise otherwise known as black licorice flavor aka Ouzo. I will say they were really nice people and did once make a lilac flavored soda that was pretty darn good!

Ha ve you tried buttchugging it? Or using tampons?

Thats one way you won’t have to taste it at all, while getting stupid  drunk.
