The ouzo effect during the preparation of absinthe. The ouzo effect (/ ˈ uː z oʊ / OO-zoh), also known as the louche effect (/ l uː ʃ / LOOSH) and spontaneous emulsification, is the phenomenon of formation of a milky oil-in-water emulsion when water is added to ouzo and other anise-flavored liqueurs and spirits, such as pastis, rakı, arak, sambuca and absinthe.
