Summer is still in full swing on Poros and we all try to stay cool! Having great drinks around is essential. One of my favourite summer drinks is Granita, a half-frozen drink often made of fruit juice, water and sugar. Of course being Greek, I wondered what a granita would be like with ouzo, our famous national drink! After some fun experiments you can see the result on this blog: my ouzo granita!

Since summers are meant to be a bit lazy sometimes, making the ouzo granita is easy. We send you lots of warm summer greetings from Poros! Stay cool!

    Yassiou Katerina, made this early this morning, and now I am thoroughly relaxed, with the glass in my hand, sniffing the luscious Ouzo and enjoying it while dreaming of being on the beach in Poros having a grand Ouzo time!!! Refreshing and delicious for this Greek girl and friends….thank you❣❣
