Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
If you like your ouzo loaded – and I mean, LOADED – with anise, then Giokarinis, from Samos, is a great choice.
If anything can be called a “dessert ouzo” – not one consumed with salty appetizers but sipped after dinner like a port or mavrodaphne – Giokarinis is the one.
Invented over a century ago by Heleni Giokarinis – a widow, hence its nickname, “the widow’s ouzo” Giokarinis ouzo is a standard 80 proof, with an intense anise taste throughout.
Rather than drinking it with a plate of lakerda or octopus by its side, this particular ouzo is best enjoyed with fruit – like sweet, ripe grapes, or fresh figs.
