This private reserve brandy is created in a single batch once a year, so don’t delay getting your hands on a bottle. Refrigerate the drink for a minimum of 2 hours and serve.

In the US, Metaxa needs to be imported, but it is very popular here and has been since it was first introduced over 100 years ago. In fact the success of Metaxa in Greece was one of the driving forces behind the brand’s success overall and perhaps the main reason it is now seen as one of the 100 biggest drinks brands in the world.

Pour Metaxa, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white in a mixing glass and dry shake (shake without ice). Seven-year double pots stilled brandy, aromatic Muscat wine, rose petals, and Mediterranean herbs. Taste notes There are four main varieties of Metaxa: 3, 5, 7 and 12. There are also special edition versions, such as their Private Reserve. The number references the amount of time that the blend has spent in maturation. So, Metaxa 3 has spent three year in those French oak barrels, Metaxa 5 has spent 5 years, and so on. Fragrant botanicals of Mediterranean herbs and rose petals also make their way onto Metaxa 5 Stars. The blend is then aged for a further year in oak barrels, cold-filtered and bottled, ready to delight its new owner. Ingredients
