Ouzo is a traditional Greek alcoholic beverage made primarily from distilled grain or grape spirits, infused with aromatic spices such as anise, fennel, and coriander. Its clear appearance turns cloudy when mixed with water due to the presence of natural oils in the herbs, a phenomenon known as the "ouzo effect." Popular in Mediterranean cuisine, ouzo is typically served as an aperitif alongside small plates of appetizers, or meze. While its anise flavor is appreciated for promoting digestion and being a potential anti-inflammatory, ouzo is a high-proof spirit with no significant nutritional value, making moderation critical. With approximately 140 calories per ounce and no carbohydrates, fats, or protein, its caloric contribution comes exclusively from alcohol. Consumed responsibly and as part of a balanced diet, ouzo remains a cultural icon of Greek heritage meant for savoring, not indulgence.
