FAQ
What is in a Mediterranean Sour?
60 ml Mastiha liqueur, 20 ml fresh lemon juice, 10 ml sugar syrup, 15 ml egg white, and an optional dash of Angostura bitters. Mastiha, a Greek liqueur distilled with resin from the mastic tree, gives it a piney, herbal character that sets it apart from a whiskey or gin sour.
