DonRocks Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Has anyone tried that Turkish anise liqueur (I forget what it's called) that turns cloudy over ice? I should have heeded their warning--it was like drinking Dr. Bronner's shampoo. Raki, or lion's milk - pretty much the same thing as Ouzo, Arak, or Pastis - a very strong anise taste that you can only sip. A little nip after a meal makes for a good digestif, but I don't see how people in the South of France drink it all day while playing pétanque. It's like Roquefort - a little bit goes a long way. (Note how I subtly shifted this to my area of expertise. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrXmus Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Don't most of those types of liquors form a louche? They contains oils which aren't miscible with water, so the solution turns cloudy. Surprisingly, not all absinthes are high enough quality to generate the louche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcollins Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I've enjoyed Xtabentíºn when I can get it from the Yucatan. It certainly has an anise flavor, as well as a bit of honey. Works fine on ice, though I've never had it turn cloudy. Edit: If anyone has a local source, I'd be interested in getting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
