A modern Greek coffee creation, Freddo Espresso is a double shot of espresso shaken with ice until it becomes cold and frothy. It’s served over ice in a tall glass, making it the perfect summer caffeine fix. Unlike regular iced coffee, Freddo Espresso has a smoother, creamier texture and a strong coffee taste.

A Greek twist on the classic cappuccino, Freddo Cappuccino is made with cold espresso and topped with frothed cold milk (instead of steamed milk). The result is a refreshing, creamy coffee that’s ideal for warm weather. It can be served sweetened or unsweetened, depending on preference.

A traditional, strong, unfiltered coffee brewed in a small copper pot (briki) and served in a small cup with grounds settled at the bottom. It comes in three levels of sweetness:

• Sketos (No Sugar) – Strong and bitter
• Metrios (Medium Sweet) – Balanced with one teaspoon of sugar
• Glykos (Sweet) – Made with two teaspoons of sugar

A classic Greek anise-flavored spirit, Ouzo is usually served with ice and water, turning it into a cloudy white drink. It pairs well with seafood and Greek meze (small dishes) and is a must-try for those who enjoy strong, aromatic spirits.

A unique Greek white wine infused with pine resin, giving it a distinctive aromatic flavor. It has been produced in Greece for over 2,000 years and is best enjoyed with Greek dishes like grilled meats and seafood.

NOTE: It’s strong!

A strong distilled spirit, similar to Italian grappa, made from grape pomace. In Crete, it’s called Raki, and in the rest of Greece, it’s Tsipouro. It’s often homemade and served as a digestive drink after meals.
