What is Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur?

Why do we love Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur for its distinctive blend of Greek tradition and modern mixology. This honey-based spirit is infused with cinnamon and other aromatic herbs, then combined with Greek grape distillate (raki or tsipouro), creating a complex and versatile liqueur that adds a unique Mediterranean twist to classic cocktails or shines on its own over ice.
How do you drink Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur?
Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur shines when sipped neat at room temperature or on the rocks, allowing its complex honey and spice notes to unfold on the palate. This versatile spirit also excels in cocktails that call for a touch of sweetness and warmth, making it perfect for cozy autumn evenings or winter gatherings, especially when paired with rich, savory dishes like roasted meats or aged cheeses.
Nose: Warm honey and cinnamon dominate, backed by subtle grape brandy notes. Hints of clove and nutmeg add complexity. A touch of oak rounds out the aroma.
Palate: Smooth and syrupy texture. Rich honey sweetness balanced by spicy cinnamon and clove. Grape brandy provides depth and warmth. Subtle orange peel and vanilla notes emerge.
Finish: Long and warming. Honey and spice linger, with cinnamon taking the lead. Gentle brandy heat fades slowly, leaving a pleasant sweetness on the tongue.
Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur is crafted by blending traditional Greek raki (a grape-based spirit) with Cretan honey and a secret mix of spices, including cinnamon. The mixture is then aged in oak barrels, allowing the flavors to meld and develop complexity, resulting in a smooth, aromatic liqueur that captures the essence of Greek hospitality.
