I substituted un-named orange liquor in an orange shaped bottle for the Ouzo. I also chopped the lemon peel by hand, first peeling off thin strips. This made a beautiful golden colored, real lemony flavored syrup with delicious little golden colored decorative chewy chunks of lemon peel. It tasted good with the yogurt cake even if it did not noticeably soak in until the third day.
