What is a Greek botanical aperitif?
Herbs, roots and citrus peel steeped into a base and balanced to be bitter enough to open a meal. The tradition is older than the category and predates any interest in removing alcohol, which is why the alcohol-free versions are not adaptations so much as the same drink made differently.
What does a Greek botanical aperitif taste like?
Bitter first, then herbal and resinous, with citrus behind it. Mountain herbs, mastic and wild greens are the usual reference points. It is closer to an Italian amaro than to anything sweet.
How is a Greek aperitif served?
Cold and long, over ice with soda, before eating rather than with the meal. A wide strip of lemon or orange peel expressed over the glass does most of the work that alcohol would otherwise do in lifting the aroma.
