Mastic
Mastic is a traditional Greek liqueur made from the aromatic resin of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), which is native to the island of Chios in the Aegean Sea. This resin, known as "mastiha," has been harvested for centuries and is prized for its distinctive, slightly sweet, and herbal flavor. Mastic liqueur is often clear and offers a unique taste profile that includes hints of pine, anise, and a subtle earthiness, making it both refreshing and complex.
The production of mastic liqueur involves infusing alcohol with the natural resin, which gives the drink its characteristic aroma and smooth texture. It is typically enjoyed as an aperitif or digestif, either served chilled on its own or as an ingredient in cocktails. Mastic liqueur is also known for its versatility in Mediterranean cuisine, where it is used to flavor desserts, pastries, and even savory dishes.
Beyond its culinary uses, mastic has long been valued for its medicinal properties, traditionally believed to aid in digestion and promote oral health. Today, mastic liqueur remains a beloved spirit in Greece and is gaining popularity worldwide for its distinct and aromatic profile, offering a taste of the Aegean's rich cultural heritage.
