Kleos The Mastiha Spirit 700 ml

Kleos The Mastiha Spirit is a Greek liqueur built around mastiha, the aromatic resin tapped from mastic trees that grow almost exclusively on the island of Chios, where the crop has protected designation of origin status under EU law. Mastiha has been used in Greek and eastern Mediterranean drinks and cooking for centuries, prized for a distinctive piney, slightly cedar-like flavor with a cooling finish that isn't quite like anything from Western European liqueur traditions. Kleos presents it in a clean, modern bottle aimed at cocktail bars looking for an unusual modifier rather than the sweeter, more traditional mastiha liqueurs found across Greece.

How to drink Kleos Mastiha

Serve it chilled and neat as an ouzo-style aperitif, or shake it into a gin-based cocktail where its pine and citrus notes can stand in for a botanical liqueur. It also makes a distinctive spritz with soda water and a lemon twist.
