Ouzo
Ouzo (, ) is a dry anise-flavored aperitif that is widely consumed in Cyprus and Greece. It is made from rectified spirits that have undergone a process of distillation and flavoring.

History Ouzo has its roots in '' tsipouro'', which is said to have been the work of a group of 14th-century monks on Mount Athos. One version of it was flavored with anise. This version eventually came to be called ouzo. Modern ouzo distillation largely took off at the beginning of the 19th century following Greek independence.
