Local liquors cannot but be included among the protagonists in Greek gustations or tastes. Products such as roses, cranberries, plums, mint, mastic, walnuts and many more “lend” their aromas and their tastes to alcohol with exciting results.

The most well-known is the mastic from Chios, from the renowned mastic tree which grows only on the southern side of the island; the citron from Naxos; the koum kouat, or as it is called, the “golden orange”; the aromatic Tentouro from Patras, made from distilled cinnamon; and clove, which according to tradition dates back to the 15th C. It was known previously as “moschovolithra”, due to its strong aroma, and is drunk as a digestive drink after a heavy meal.
