Spitiko Meraki organic Cretan rakomelo subtly combines the strength of tsikoudia with the natural sweetness of honey and the enveloping aromas of spices. This emblematic spirit, crafted according to island traditions, reflects the generous soul of Crete.
In this handcrafted recipe, honey meets tsikoudia from organic grapes, while cinnamon, cloves and several aromatic herbs enrich the taste profile. Each ingredient plays a specific role: the honey softens, the spices warm, and the alcoholic base adds depth. The result is a drink that’s authentic, comforting and well-balanced.
Thanks to its aromatic richness, this rakomelo lends itself to several tasting moments. In winter, it warms gently to become a soothing elixir. In summer, a few ice cubes are enough to reveal all its freshness. A perfect accompaniment to a dry dessert, an oriental sweet or a chat with friends. The 500 ml bottle can also be easily integrated into a gift box or a selection of Cretan products.
A good rakomelo is distinguished by the balance between the sweetness of honey, the warmth of alcohol and notes of spices such as cinnamon or clove. A natural aroma and round mouthfeel are also telltale signs.
It all depends on the season and your preferences. In winter, it’s often served warm to accentuate its comforting side. In summer, it’s best served chilled with one or two ice cubes. In all cases, it should be enjoyed slowly, to better appreciate its aromas.
Yes, the sweetness comes exclusively from the honey added to the tsikoudia. There’s no need for refined sugar or artificial flavouring, as honey provides sweetness, fullness and nutritional benefits.
It goes well with dried fruit, nuts or pastries such as baklava or kourabiedes. Some also enjoy it with mature cheese, to contrast the sweetness of honey with a salty touch.
In Crete, the base for rakomelo is always a local tsikoudia. It is this traditional spirit that brings structure to the drink. Honey and spices only enhance the already strong identity of this brandy.
