Product Information

You can serve the sangria in a glass as is, or you can serve it over ice depending on your preference. Metaxa cocktails combine orange juice, lime juice, liquid sugar cane, and a shot of Metaxa, shaken vigorously and poured out into a glass. There is a significant difference in taste, because while the unique Metaxa flavor is there throughout, there is a certain smoothness and clarity added by the maturation process, not unlike the improvements you get when you age normal brandy or even whiskey.

The best Metaxa brandy is more than the sum of its parts, blended to perfection; this mix of brandy and wine is a masterclass of Greek spirits know-how. A Metaxa made with a blend of cask brandies aged up to 80 years, aromatic Muscat wine, and delicate botanicals. As a brandy, Metaxa combines local Greek wines from islands in the Aegean Sea with wine distillates that have been aging for as long as 80 years in some types.Depending on the age of the Metaxa, it brings flavours of dried fruits, honey, caramel, dark chocolate, and oak with a smooth and flavoursome finish.
