Brace yourself, winter is coming!
Pour the ouzo, lemon juice, ice cubes, and mint syrup into a cocktail shaker and shake well for about 30 seconds. The ice cubes should be almost completely melted. Fill a tall glass to the top with crushed ice and pour the cocktail over it. Finally, tap the peppermint stalk gently with the palm of your hand to release the essential oils. Insert the stalk into the drink to garnish. The ouzo becomes milky and cloudy when it comes into contact with the water, and with the lemon juice, it takes on a white to grayish hue. These are said to represent the colors of the Starks. The flavor of anise and mint is reminiscent of the cool winds of winter. Enjoy this cocktail in the last days of summer.
