Metaxa Ouzo 700 ml
About this bottle
Metaxa Ouzo is a clear, anise-forward spirit from Metaxa, the Greek producer best known for its blended brandy. Like other ouzo, it's distilled from a grape-based spirit redistilled with anise seed and other botanicals, giving it a strong licorice character that turns milky white when mixed with water or ice. Expect bright anise and fennel on the nose, a smooth, sweetly herbal palate, and a warming, licorice-heavy finish. It's a digestif built for slow sipping rather than mixing, and suits anyone who already enjoys anise-driven spirits like sambuca or pastis.
How to drink Metaxa Ouzo
Pour it over ice and add a splash of cold water so it turns cloudy white and the anise mellows into something more floral. Skip mixing it into cocktails; ouzo is traditionally sipped slowly alongside meze rather than shaken into a drink.

Questions about this bottle
Why does ouzo turn white when you add water or ice?
Ouzo contains anethole, an oil from anise seed that dissolves in alcohol but not water. When water or ice is added, the oil separates out of solution and scatters light, turning the drink cloudy white — a reaction known as the ouzo effect.
How should Metaxa Ouzo be served?
Serve it over ice with a splash of cold water rather than mixing it into a cocktail; it's traditionally sipped slowly alongside meze or other savory small plates.
What is Metaxa best known for?
Metaxa is a Greek producer best known for its blended brandy, made from aged grape distillates and muscat wine; this ouzo is a separate, anise-based expression from the same house.
