Looking for something refreshing, herbaceous, and just a little bit different?
Meet the Aegean Breeze– a Mediterranean-inspired cocktail that brings the subtle sweetness of Mastiha together with the botanical notes of gin and the zing of fresh lime.
Finished with a salted rim and cucumber, it’s the kind of drink you’d want in hand after a late afternoon swim or while watching the sun set over whitewashed rooftops.
Elegant, easy to make, and delightfully aromatic- this one’s summer in a glass!
Ingredients:
-60ml Mastiha liqueur
-30ml gin
-1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
