Well, the other day, I was experimenting with a new recipes when I ran across one calling for Ouzo. And, while I knew what Ouzo was, I didn’t have any. So, I went to the local grocery store to buy some.<\/p>\n
When I got there, I discovered that they didn’t carry Ouzo. Bah! I guess Lowell is not an Ouzo kind of town. (no surprise) So, I looked for a substitute.<\/p>\n
I knew that the second choice of the recipe was Pernod. But, alas, in Lowell, that was even stranger than Ouzo.<\/p>\n
While I had heard that Jagermeister was similar, I wasn’t familiar with the product. So, I bought it.<\/p>\n
When I got home, a quick check on line determined that Jagermeister is not the same as Ouzo. Bah!<\/p>\n
But, I did managed to acquire a small bottle of Ouzo (airline sample) and used it for my recipe. Done deal!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, I now have a bottle of Jagermeister.<\/p>\n
Now, according to the bottle, it should be kept in the freezer and served ice cold.<\/p>\n
According to my friends, it goes down really really smooth but if you have too much of it, it comes up very very bad. I think I got their drift.<\/p>\n
Maybe I will save it for the holidays. I will keep it in the freezer next to the orange juice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
