Our favorite and most classic Greek liqueur is Vissino (λικέρ βύσσινο) a sour cherry liqueur. The sourness of sour cherries is combined with alcohol and a few spices resulting into a drink with a dark ruby colour, an intoxicating aroma and full bodied flavour.

Portokali (λικέρ πορτοκάλι), is a refreshing liqueur. The strong aromas of orange, bitter orange, lemon, mandarin and grapefruit make this liqueur extraordinary.
