Ouzo Plomari is the best tasting Ouzo in the world due to it's quality ingredients. It is the #1 selling Ouzo in Greece, the home of Ouzo!

It also has a relatively high alcohol content of somewhere between 37.5 (the mandatory ABV to call it an “ouzo” in Greece) and 50%. For reference, vodka and gin usually sit at about 40% ABV, so ouzo can be a heavy hitter if you don't know what to expect.

Good ouzo is around 40% alcohol by volume and isn't made to be chugged. It's always served with a glass of water for the purpose of mixing; that's what turns it milky-white and helps to release its perfumes better. The key is to keep adding water as you drink to avoid dehydration and other ill effects.

What is ouzo? Ouzo, Greece's national spirit, is a clear colored liqueur made from grape must (unfermented juice remnants pressed from grapes for winemaking) and has a very strong anise taste. Along with anise, ouzo may contain other spices like fennel, cinnamon, or cardamom.
