The Greek Tycoon is a classic cocktail recipe with a Greek twist. It's made by combining gin, a popular spirit with a long history, and metaxa brandy, a Greek brandy that's been infused with honey and a secret blend of herbs and spices. The cocktail has a deep amber color and is usually served in a martini glass with a garnish of lemon peel. The honey flavors in the metaxa brandy perfectly complement the herbal notes of the gin, resulting in a well-balanced cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. It's a sophisticated drink to enjoy on a romantic dinner date or at a classy cocktail party with friends.

Instructions

1.	Pour gin and metaxa brandy in a shaker with ice.
2.	Shake well for 10-15 seconds.
3.	Strain the contents into a chilled glass.

PROS

The Greek Tycoon cocktail has a smooth taste with hints of juniper and honey flavors.

It’s a classy cocktail perfect for special occasions or a night out.

CONS

The cocktail can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended for those who prefer milder drinks.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This cocktail is not particularly healthy, and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
However, the juniper berries in gin have been linked to having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and the honey in metaxa brandy can soothe sore throats and coughs.
