Ouzo

Ouzo is a sweet, often herb- or spice-flavored alcoholic spirit used in cocktails and desserts and found in many regional varieties (for example anis-flavored or herbal liqueurs). It is typically enjoyed in small amounts or as a flavoring rather than as a main beverage. Nutritionally, Ouzo is energy-dense at 279kcal per 100g and contains a high proportion of sugars with negligible protein, fiber, or meaningful amounts of vitamins and minerals, so it contributes mostly calories and flavor. From a health perspective, liqueurs are not a significant source of beneficial nutrients; they do, however, sometimes contain small amounts of plant-derived aromatic compounds that contribute flavor and minor antioxidant activity. Use sparingly or choose lower‑sugar spirits if you want the taste with fewer calories.
