No. Ouzo and raki are two very different Greek spirits. Ouzo can be anise or mastic-flavored or without any flavoring. It is distilled several times to reach a 37.5 to 50% alcohol content. Ouzo is usually mixed with water and ice and becomes cloudy white. If you visit Lesvos, leading ouzo-makers, go to the ouzo museum in Plomari. Raki – aka tsikoudia – is made on the Greek island of Crete and is a pomace brandy made of twice-distilled grapes which contains 40% to 65% alcohol by volume. A similar strong distilled spirit is made in mainland Greece known as tsipouro. All three Greek drinks areProtected Designation of Origin (PDO) products.
