anise uh inside it's similar to pastich when you know from the friends it's a very dedicated
very light as they when you come at your mouth and if you if you are loved with the the animes
the aftertaste is perfect and very balanced all the chipotle uh the way you can drinking it's a
with ice and two parts of water one part of ouzo with two parts of water it's i think it's a great
dilution for eurozone and if you have a cucumber inside i think it's much more
