I don't drink except for a sip or two of our own wine, but I'm not fond of either ouzo or Metaxas brandy. I do love the aroma of our tsipouro though.

Effie, I got to admit that I use those sometime in cooking. After Lent try some kadaifi/baklava with vanilla ice cream and some metaxa (very good thicker version of it) over and it is so delicious. Also you can add some walnut preserve over.

Of course, instead of drinking it, I use it for massages. Yes my grandmas used that for massage after cupping and just simple massage! They mixed raki with very good olive oil and crushed an aspirin in it. After massage they tucked and covered you very well and it was before bedtime they massaged so the opened pores would not get draft of cool air in they would say. And the next morning you would wake up renewed.
