Refreshing and delicate, this liqueur deftly combines the Chios Mastiha with lemon. Well integrated resinous aromas with lemon zest refresh your nose and mouth with a very good balance of sweetness and acidity. Like limoncello only more flavoursome. Τhe aftertaste is also delightful and fragrant. Enjoy well chilled as a shot, in cocktails or as an after dinner digestive drink.
Mastic Tears is made by EVA Distillers in Mytilene on the Island of Lesbos, Greece, a range of distinctive mastiha liqueur. The base of this traditional Greek liqueur is Mastiha, derived from the resin of mastic trees and sweetened lightly with sugar. The resin forms droplets resembling tears and harvested using precise methods. While mastic trees grow throughout Greece, only those on the island of Chios produce this resin. Curiously attempts to replicate this resin production elsewhere have been unsuccessful, adding to its mystique. Historically, mastiha has been valued for its medicinal properties and culinary uses, even recommended by Hippocrates himself for treating indigestion.
