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!

  2. Let it cool to room temperature.
  3. Stir the ouzo into the sugar syrup.

    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❣❣
