Description

Aegean Mastiha Mist takes its cue from Aegean, using Mastiha, Lemon liqueur, Cucumber cordial, sparkling wine. Serve well chilled to create a cocktail with a specific cultural mood rather than a vague flavour idea.

The serve works because it has contrast: a recognisable lead flavour, a balancing citrus or aromatic note, and enough lift to keep the drink clean. It is designed to feel modern, photogenic and easy to understand from the first sip.

Use it as part of a world-cocktail menu, a country-themed party, or a tasting flight where each drink tells a small story about place, colour and occasion.
