Ouzo is a strong Greek drink. It tastes of — that sweet, sharp flavour you also meet in liquorice. In Greece people often drink it slowly with food, and they usually add water and ice. Here is the surprising bit: the drink is clear in the glass, then turns cloudy white when the water goes in. That is normal; it is not spoiled. Ouzo is a spirit, so it is much stronger than beer or wine, and you sip it; you do not treat it like a long cold drink. English keeps the Greek name and does not really translate it. You will meet it in travel writing, restaurant menus, and talk about Greek food — not in the science lab, and not as a child’s word.
烏佐酒（希臘茴香烈酒；加水會變白濁）
組成From Greek ούζο (oúzo). The next step is argued: it may come from Turkish üzüm (“grape”), or from the Italian stamp uso in Marsiglia (“for use in Marseille”) once put on fine silkworm cocoons from Tyrnavos as a mark of high quality; another idea ties it to ancient Greek ὄζω / ὀσμή (“to smell” / “smell”), because the drink has a strong smell. The Greek name itself is certain; which story is right is not.
