Greece, the cradle of Western civilisation, is a country rich in history and culture, offering a vast array of spirits to savour. Among these, spirits hold a special place, notably with iconic products like ouzo and tsipouro. These aniseed-flavoured and distilled drinks capture the essence of Greek traditions and are often served alongside meze, a selection of small dishes served as appetisers. Ouzo, often associated with the sunny landscapes of the Greek islands, is known for its distinctive liquorice flavour, obtained by the addition of dill.

Tsipouro, on the other hand, is a grape marc spirit, often compared to Turkish raki. It is generally served neat or with a few ice cubes, and represents a deeply rooted tradition in specific regions such as Thessaly and Epirus. These spirits offer a unique taste experience that reflects the local terroir and lifestyle of the inhabitants. Greek producers take pride in preserving artisanal distillation methods whilst innovating to meet contemporary tastes.
