but speaking of rum again, i had a sip of the best rum i've ever had in my life last night (not too hard since i haven't had too many). ron zacapa. total sipper w/ice. straight caramel flavors. pretty amazing.

I inadvertently went through my twenties crossing clear liquors off a list of things I'd never be able to drink again, but there's got to be one that's different from the gins and vodkas and moonshines and clear tequilas that I could actually order. What is Ouzo? Is it good? Also, I've only ever had spiced/dark rum as far as I know. What's white rum like?

white rum is wonderful

Vodka + soda + lime = summertime

I know the more expensive vodkas have less odor than the cheaper stuff, but I can't even whiff it anymore with feeling queasy.

ouzo is gross imo. i prefer dark rum to white - but maybe i just havent had good white rum

Ouzo is similar to arak and many other rather raw near-eastern anise-flavored liquors. It is not mellow stuff. It is traditionally drunk with water added, which turns it a milky color. I can't say it is worth a special trip just to drink some, but if you are in Greece and some is offered to you, try it. You might like it.

yea if you like anise you will like ouzo
― marcos, Tuesday, 7 July 2015 03:55 (eight years ago) link
Oh, I just looked up what anise is. Can't imagine I'd be into it.

If you have ever had Pastis, it is pretty similar. Ouzo is really refreshing with ice and water. It has a bad rep because tourists tend to pound shots of it.

Or sambucca i guess.
sambuca + espresso = deliciousness
