The second most coolest thing about ouzo is the way this Greek aperitif transforms from crystal clear to milky white with the introduction of just a little water or, in the case of the slightly time-lapsed video above, an ice cube. Appropriately enough, this miracle of modern libations is called the ouzo effect, which, if you ask me to explain, I’ll just direct you to Elton John.
“All the science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week.”
But the coolest thing about this black-licorice flavored liquor is how awesome it is to drink. And at roughly 40% alcohol by volume, a couple of these bad boys gives a whole different meaning to the term “ouzo effect.” Yamas!
