If your Father’s Day celebration calls for a toast with meaning, consider this: an ancient Greek botanical reimagined as a modern, sophisticated spirit. KLEOS Mastiha Spirit, created by Effie Panagopoulos—the first Greek woman in history to launch a liquor brand—is more than a bottle on the shelf. It is a story in every pour.
Made from mastiha, a rare resin harvested exclusively on the southern tip of Chios island, KLEOS is low-ABV, low-sugar, and beautifully complex. On the nose, it offers whispers of eucalyptus and sage. On the palate? Notes of cucumber, mint, and lemongrass unfold slowly, cleanly. The result is a spirit that is as easy to sip as it is to mix.
Bartenders call it “the olive oil of the cocktail world” for a reason—it plays well with virtually every base, blending effortlessly into martinis, spritzes, and low-ABV creations. It is versatile enough for a lemon wedge on the rocks, but thoughtful enough for an elevated gift or moment of personal indulgence.
If you are looking for something off the beaten path for a Father’s Day gift or nightcap, this is it: a spirit with roots, a modern soul, and a story that lingers long after the glass is empty.
Available in 16 U.S. states and online nationwide.
Pro tip: National Martini Day is June 19. Pair a bottle of KLEOS with a recipe card for their “Greek Salad Martini” or “Dirty Greek”—a perfect nod to summer sophistication.
