Roots Mastic Liqueur is a Liqueur from the Finest Roots Liqueurs brand hailing from Greece.
What is Roots Mastic Liqueur?
Roots Mastic Liqueur offers a unique taste of Greece, crafted from the rare mastic resin found only on the island of Chios. This crystal-clear spirit captures the essence of sun-baked Mediterranean herbs and pine, with a subtle sweetness that's balanced by a refreshing, almost mentholated finish—making it a versatile addition to cocktails or enjoyable on its own over ice. Interestingly, the mastic trees that produce this resin were once so valuable that medieval knights and pirates alike fought over control of Chios, with the Venetians dubbing it the "Perfumed Island" due to the aromatic scent of mastic that permeated the air.
Why do we love Roots Mastic Liqueur?
Cocktail aficionados should embrace Roots Mastic Liqueur for its distinctive Greek character, derived from the rare mastic resin harvested exclusively on the island of Chios. This crystal-clear spirit offers a one-of-a-kind flavor profile, combining pine-like notes with hints of vanilla and anise, making it a versatile and intriguing addition to both classic and contemporary cocktails.
How do you drink Roots Mastic Liqueur?
Roots Mastic Liqueur shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its unique pine and herbal notes to take center stage. It's also a versatile player in cocktails, particularly those with citrus or herbal components, and pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine; enjoy it year-round, but it's especially refreshing on warm summer evenings when its cooling flavors can truly be appreciated.
