Spanish translation:turbosidad
Explanation:
I think you mean that the liqueur is louche (rather than louch) - could this be? It means it is cloudy and can refer to look or smell of any liquid, really, but used a lot for wines and spirits in general. I'll post some references separately.

In Spanish we would say está turbio.

Here, under the headingEl rito de la bebida you can find the term in both Spanish and English - that should lead to lots of other references.

neutral  abe(L)solano: En todo caso sería "turbiedad" (cualidad de turbio) 'turbosidad' no es correcto y no está recogido en el DRAE, saludos/No sé si se usa en Chile, pero soy Químico Farmacéutico y jamás he oido "turbosidad" en la industria ni en la academia.

  -> Gracias. Es verdad que no está recogido en la RAE, pero no obstante es el término que se utiliza en la industria, junto con turbidez.// Si, se usa en Chile y harto. Además estudié licores y vinos a nivel WSET y tb se usó ahí. Turbidez evita polemica.
agree  Mónica Algazi: Sí, "turbidez" diría.

Algunos se dejan igual, pues provienen de otras lenguas y tradicionalmente han quedado asi. Tal es el caso del ouzo que es griego.
--------

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouzo
El ouzo (en griego, ούζο) es un licor anisado de origen griego con fuerte sabor dulce y olor a regaliz.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouzo_effect
The ouzo effect (also louche effect and spontaneous emulsification) is a milky (louche) oil-in-water emulsion that is formed when water is added to ouzo and other anise-flavored liqueurs and spirits, such as pastis, raki, arak, sambuca and absinthe. Such microemulsions occur with only minimal mixing and are highly stable.[1]

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efecto_lechoso
Se denomina Efecto Ouzo (llamado también efecto lechoso o emulsificación espontánea) al fenómeno de opacidad lechosa que aparece en ciertas bebidas de anís cuando se mezclan con agua. Se denomina así por ser típico de los licores anisados, como lo es el mismo ouzo, la absenta, el aceite de anís, etc. Todas ellas bebidas con trazas del principio activo fundamentado en el anetol. Este efecto se suele denominar louche (del francés: louche) y aparece como una microemulsión de este aceite esencial del Pimpinella anisum.1​ La microemulsión se puede generar incluso con pequeñas cantidades de agua y se caracteriza por ser altamente estable en el tiempo. Este efecto tiene aplicaciones comerciales.
