Skinos Mastiha Spirit

Description

Skinos Mastiha Spirit is a Greek liqueur made with mastiha, the aromatic resin that comes from mastic trees on the island of Chios. It has a distinctive profile of pine, fresh herbs, cucumber, anise, light sweetness, and clean Mediterranean spice. Bottled at 30% ABV, it is excellent chilled, over ice, with tonic, or in citrus-driven cocktails.

Producer

Skinos is produced by Concepts S.A. and built around Chios mastiha, a protected Greek ingredient harvested from mastic trees that grow in southern Chios. The island’s soil, mild climate, and long harvesting tradition give mastiha its clear color and intense botanical aroma. Skinos highlights that regional identity by turning the resin into a modern cocktail-friendly spirit.

Cocktail Suggestions

Skinos Mastiha Spirit is a natural fit for a Skinos Med with Mediterranean tonic, grapefruit soda, or sparkling water and a citrus garnish. The bubbles lift its piney, herbal aroma, while the bitter citrus keeps the drink crisp and refreshing.

It also works well in a Mastiha Sour with gin or vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Skinos adds resinous herbs, subtle anise, and cucumber-like freshness, giving the sour a cleaner Mediterranean profile than a standard citrus cocktail.
