Tracks on the Rocks #9 - Kalimera from Greece!

The next destination of our Tracks on the Rocks summer tour is scenic, picture-perfect Greece.  

What we wouldn’t give to be basking in the Greek islands’ otherworldly natural beauty, just chilling on a boat off their pristine shores surrounded by crystal clear blue waters… 

That’s the stuff dreams are made of right there. The next best thing are these deliciously refreshing Greek cocktails, accompanied by some timeless local classics.

Combine 50 ml tsipouro, 20 ml fresh lemon juice and 15 ml vanilla syrup in a shaker and stir. Pour into an ice-filled Collins glass and top with chilled grapefruit soda. Garnish with juniper berries and a cinnamon stick and serve.

Mediterranean Manhattan ft. Sophia Loren, Tonis Marudas – Ti ‘ne afto pou to lene agapi
