History

Reminiscent of a Cobbler, the balance between tsipouro and red wine is complemented by triple sec, maraschino, and Creole bitters.

This drink is based on a recipe by Petros Binas, who created it at Istioploikos restaurant in Mikrolimano, Pireaus, Greece. It was among ten winning recipes in the 2021 O/Purist Quest. Petros Binas stated, "Theano Thuria, the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician who dealt with the harmony of the universe, came from Croton in southern Italy. My cocktail is my attempt to expand its theory into the world of drink. I created a cup which, guided by the O/Purist Tsipouro, brought in harmonious flavours and aromas from the enchanting mountain forests to the sunny plains of the Mediterranean."
