A Greek-influenced riff on the Champs-Élysées named after Panepistimiou Street in Athens, which, thanks to its being the address of the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens and the National Library, is known as Athens' cultural corridor.

Wow, really good. The photo has me a bit confused as the recipe calls for an ice-filled glass. No worries, I did use an ice-filled glass and I love this recipe!

Made this last night to use up some Metaxa and absolutely loved it. The Chartreuse with the Ouzo was great. Will be making again!

I have a litre bottle of Metaxa I've been meaning to finish up so I made this today. It's pretty good and the chartreuse and ouzo are battling it out for the flavours. I think they complement each other quite well! Thank you Simon.

My pleasure. I'm enjoying experimenting with Metaxa 12 Stars.
