The term 'Sambuca Cousin' refers to two alcoholic beverages, OUZO and Anisette. OUZO is a Greek anise-flavored liqueur that is usually served as an aperitif. It is made from a base of grape distillate and flavored with anise, fennel, and other herbs and spices. Anisette is a French liqueur made from aniseed and other herbs and spices. It is usually served as a digestif after a meal. Both OUZO and Anisette are clear, colorless liqueurs with a strong anise flavor.
