Wonderful. One of the best mixed drinks using ouzo that I have tried! I used lemonade and a splash of orange juice. I also used REAL grenadine for this drink with some pomegranate juice. Oh this is heaven.... this is summer at its finest! Thanks Ev!

Whew! That ouzo really gave me a punch in the shoulder. Hehe! Next time I will either have to lighten up on the ouzo or increase the orange juice. Just for fun, I think I will do the latter. Lovely and tasty!

FABULOUS!!!! I made it with Southern Lemonade Southern Lemonade. Well my DH made it! He kept saying "I don`t know" He just couldn`t and wouldn`t think the flavor blend would work. YES it does it really good and so refreshing on these hot summer days! A must try. Thanks for a great recipe!

Very delicious once I got past the initial impact of the ouzo. I tried this first with grapefruit juice, then next glass with a combination of all three juices suggested in recipe. Used only 1 ounce of ouzo with second beverage, as the first glass with 1 1/2 ounce of ouzo was a bit too overpowering (ouzoey). Friends enjoyed this beverage as well. The grenadine gives a nice color and a good flavor. Opa! Thanks Ev'! cg

Like CookGirl, I experimented with the juice--decided I like orange with a touch of lemon juice and a splash of sparkling water. You can take a sip and imagine yourself on Santorini.

Very interesting concoction, indeed. I made it with orange/grapefruit juice and it was ok. I am used to drinking ouzo as the french drink pernod or ricard, which are very similar aniseed drinks to ouzo, with some plain water to make it all misty and a splash of grenadine.

I used orange juice that I had on hand and only 1 ounce of ouzo. Enjoyed this a lot and will be trying the lemonade next!

Yum! Very refreshing. I used fresh lemonade in this. Not too sweet- the splash of grenadine was just right!

Sambuca I like with coffee, but Ouzo was initially a bit too strong for me, but I too decided to give this recipe 5 stars after getting used to it. Instead of grenadine I used pomegranate juice. I don't know whether the two are interchangeable but it makes for a very healthful drink with grapefruit juice (if you can excuse the liquor being there too):D
