Sour

The Metaxa 12 Sour is an elegant and sophisticated cocktail that enhances the intensity of the famous Greek spirit Metaxa 12 stars. Perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, this cocktail combines the rich and complex aromas of Metaxa – notes of dried fruit, vanilla and spices – with the freshness of lemon juice and the sweetness of a simple syrup. The final touch of egg white provides a velvety texture and light foam, making every sip irresistible. Ideal for a refined aperitif or an evening with friends. 🍹

Hint: METAXA 12 Sour is the all-year version of the Hocus Pumpkin Pocus Sour !
