History
Navy rum features in this Old Fashioned-style tsipouro cocktail, with vanilla a brilliant touch.
Michalis Emmanouil created this drink at Degage Bar in Lamia, Greece. It was among ten winning recipes in the 2021 O/Purist Quest. Emmanouil reports inspiration from the Parthenon temple in Athens. He stated, "built as a temple in honour of goddess Athena, protector of the city as well. In the same way the O/Purist Tsipouro was created by ten successful people from the world of bartending."
