What is Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur?

Roots Rakomelo Sweet Liqueur combines the fiery kick of Greek raki with the soothing sweetness of honey, creating a unique blend that's both warming and smooth. This intriguing spirit is based on a centuries-old recipe traditionally used by Greek monks to ward off winter chills and boost their immune systems.

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.

  • Roots Rakomelo isn't just a modern creation—it's based on a centuries-old Greek recipe that dates back to the 14th century when monks on Mount Athos used it for medicinal purposes.
  • Unlike many liqueurs that use artificial flavorings, Roots Rakomelo gets its distinctive taste from actual Greek honey and cinnamon that are steeped in the distillate for several days before bottling.
  • The base spirit in Roots Rakomelo, called "tsipouro," is made from pressed grape pomace—the leftover skins, pulp, and seeds from winemaking—giving it a unique connection to Greek wine production.
  • Main Ingredient: Raki
    Country of Origin: Greece

      Wow! Seriously flavourful

      I've had various other honey liqueurs from "honey whiskeys" to meads but this is totally different. its sweet and spiced in a way that i would think a good mulled mead would taste like. It is not spicy the way high proof alcohols are, nor in the way capsaicin (spicy hot food/sauce), but like a spice cabinet is.

      My palette is not good enough to pick out individual things in food and alcohol like some people can but it very pleasantly reminds me of autumn or winter spices, so probably like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and allspice. i would not claim that its subtle at all though, the spices are very apparent with both the smell and taste but not at all overpowering, just a wonderfully warming drink for my evenings as i wait for summer.
