Cocktail of the Week: The Greek Tiger

Sorry for the lack of blogs this week folks! I found out Monday that I will be moving to Townsville in 3 weeks, so I'll try post where I can but it will be a busy time so hang tight!

Happy Humpday! This week's cocktail of the week is:

The Greek Tiger

If you haven't had Ouzo before, this cocktail is a great introduction. Its fresh and fruity, with that sneaky aniseed taste popping in at the end. It is a variation on an old classic: the tiger tail.

Glass: Hi Ball

Alcoholic Content:
  • 1 - 1.5 Parts Ouzo
Non-Alcoholic Content:
  • 4 parts Fresh Orange Juice
  • Ice Cubes
  • Lime Wedge
  • Grenadine (optional)
Equipment:
  • Martini shaker

Mix it:
  1. Place a spoonful of ice cubes, ouzo, and orange juice in the shaker
  2. Shake well, and strain into the glass
  3. Add a dash of grenadine (if desired)
  4. Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink

Garnish: Garnish with a twist of lime

If the weather is a little warm, strain into a glass over ice. If you do not like liquorice flavoured things, this drink may not be for you, however, as with most cocktails it works well with vodka as a substitute.


Keep Smiling,
