   "Ouzo" is a Greek brandy.  OED and Merriam-Webster have 1898. The best I could find right now is only a year earlier.


   August 1897, CENTURY ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE (American Periodical Series and Making of America-Cornell), start page 483:
   ...brought us first liqueur (_ouzo_), and then black coffee, with material for cigarettes.
