Masticha liqueur is a unique and flavorful drink that is native to the island of Chios, but can also be found in Heraklion. It is made from the resin of the mastiha tree, which is only found in certain regions of Greece. Masticha liqueur has a distinct sweet and herbal taste, with hints of pine and citrus. It is often enjoyed as a digestif and can be served straight, on the rocks, or used as an ingredient in cocktails. Visitors to Heraklion can find masticha liqueur in specialty liquor stores or enjoy it at local bars and restaurants.
