Souroti Mastic Sparkling Water 250 ml — Case of 24, Glass

Mastic is about as Greek as a flavor gets, and Souroti pairs it with a water just as rooted in place: a naturally sparkling mineral spring near Thessaloniki that has been bottled for well over a century.

The base carries around 1,100 mg/L of dissolved solids at a pH of 6, which gives it a savory, almost saline depth and a sparkle that keeps going. The aromatic mastic sits on top of that structure. It is an unusual bottle, and a good one to open with meze: olives, grilled octopus, taramasalata, or after dinner with a plate of loukoumades.

In 250 ml glass it fits neatly on a Greek restaurant's drinks list, in a specialty grocer's cooler or in a hotel minibar that wants something guests will remember. Souroti Mastic Sparkling Water is sold by the case of 24 glass bottles and shipped across the US from Long Island.
