Complete with a little instruction booklet. Well, gee, I get that we're in the middle of the prairie, but we really didn't just fall off the pickle boat and have had bars here serving Ouzo for decades. It just strikes me as a little condescending. Maybe I'm being too harsh today.

Post #5 - August 30th, 2018, 8:24 pm“It’s a sipping drink; you pour it over ice, you add water,” Alexakis said. “You never drink ouzo without food, that’s the biggest faux pas ever.”
Dedicated ouzo (and raki) drinkers are very vocal about the right way to drink the beverage. From the little bit divulged in this article, it sounds like Louie is well versed.
