Grecian Garden Fizz
Travel 2025
This refreshing highball combines the botanical essence of gin with the anise flavour of ouzo— Ouzo 12 (LCBO 123133) is a slightly sweet ouzo that surrounds the taste of anise with citrus and herbal notes. Throw in muddled mint and cucumber with a splash of lemon soda water, and you’ve got a drink that evokes a Mediterranean garden in full bloom.
