Notes
Nutrition information is based on the Aegean Paradise Cocktail (ouzo-pineapple-orange juice).
The quantities of ingredients for each cocktail are listed in the corresponding paragraph within the article.
The alcohol content of ouzo is approximately 40%, but that can vary slightly depending on the brand.
Sweetener: I've used maple syrup because it dissolves quickly. You can also use honey, but you'll need to stir your drink longer. Liquid stevia or another sweetener of your choice can also be used as needed.
