TSIPOURO, OUZO, TSIKOUDIA
They are alcoholic beverages in Greece and we drink them at social gatherings.They have almost the same taste but the method of production and the quantity of alcohol is different for each drink.
They are usually served in shot glasses with meze (a small side dish) such as cheese, olives, seafood, meat, halva, or paximadi (bread rusks).
RAKOMELO
Rakomelo is made by combining raki or tsipouro - two types of grape brandy - with honey and several spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, or other local herbs. It is produced in Crete and other islands of the Aegean Sea and on the Greek mainland. We drink it during the winter as a warm drink.
RIZOGALO (RICE PUDDING)
It is a dish made from rice mixed with water or milk and other ingredients such as cinnamon and vanilla.
We eat it as a dessert or light dinner.

Loukoumades, a type of deep fried Greek pastry. The batter is usually dropped into hot oil and fried to a golden brown color, but some are doughnut -shaped. Loukoumades are served with honey and, sometimes, with cinnamon or chocolate.
