What is the difference between ouzo and tsikoudia (raki)?

The main difference between tsikoudia (raki) and ouzo is that the tsikoudia has as raw material the remains of the winemaking, the tsambouras, the grapes or the skins of the grapes which are fermented at low temperatures, in this way, they yield the aromas as well as all the special characteristics of the grapes, while it is possible to add light aromas of fruits or herbs. The distillation can be carried out 1-2 or even 3 times, it depends on the character of the distillate.

While ouzo is the mixture of pure alcohol of agricultural origin with a wide variety of aromatic plants, mainly aniseed.
