KLEOS Mastiha Spirit
KLEOS Mastiha Spirit is a luxury Greek liqueur made from an ancient superfood called mastiha (a PDO that grows only in on the island of Chios), now getting mainstream recognition.
Mastiha kills h. pylori, the bacteria that causes peptic ulcers, gastric cancer, and acid reflux.
Healing properties for the stomach and digestive system are retained in liquor form, making it the ultimate aperitif/digestif.
More importantly, it’s absolutely delicious, fabulous in cocktails (being called “bartender’s olive oil” in the press), and is low cal, low abv, and low sugar. It’s a flavorful alternative to vodka that meets what VOGUE called, “the latest must-try cocktail ingredient."
Founder: Effie Panagopoulos is a 15+ years industry veteran, with a track record at Bacardi, Remy and as an advisor to countless startups, and is the first Greek woman in history to start a liquor brand.
Come discover a sensory experience that will delight the senses and totally change your perception of mastiha as a category and flavor profile.
