The combination of ouzo, grapefruit juice/lemonade, and grenadine creates a well-balanced drink with a slight citrusy tang and a hint of anise flavor.

It may not be suitable for those who don’t enjoy the taste of anise or licorice.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Grapefruit juice is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help boost your immune system and reduce inflammation.
Ouzo, made from anise, may have some digestive benefits and has been traditionally used to relieve stomach discomfort. However, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
