Notes

The ouzo drink has a beautiful colour and a subtle taste of blueberry and basil. The longer you let your drink infuse with the blueberries, the more pronounced the flavour will be.

We use frozen blueberries (as opposed to fresh berries) as they impart a deep blue-purple colour to the ouzo, and we prefer the texture of these blueberries when we use them to top ice cream.

The serving sizes listed here are estimates; it all depends on how much ouzo one drinks, and how many berries you will put onto your ice cream.

The nutritional facts are for one serving of the cocktail, not the ice cream.
