Description

A Cretan speciality made with mastic

The mastic liqueur Spitiko Meraki Crete combines the finesse of local tsikoudia with the inimitablearoma of mastic resin. From the very first sip, it reminds us of the landscapes of the southern Aegean, with a woody, slightly sweet freshness. And because it is handmade, it fully respects Cretan traditions.

Perfect balance of freshness and sweetness

This sweet liqueur (18% vol.) is based on raki distilled by traditional methods. It is then naturally flavoured with mastic, without artificial flavours or unnecessary ingredients. In addition, its smooth texture and subtle menthol flavour make it an ideal digestive to extend a good meal.

A different way to enjoy mastic

For an authentic experience, enjoy it chilled, on its own or with a citrus dessert. But it can also be used in light cocktails, paired with prosecco, mint or a quality tonic. It’s an easy choice for festive occasions and adds an elegant Mediterranean touch.
