Finding Rakomelo in the United States?

[dimi_pat]

I've recently come back from a trip to Greece, and I fell in love with Rakomelo, the warm, honey-infused spirit that's perfect for cold evenings. I’ve been craving that unique flavor ever since but can't seem to find it anywhere locally here in the United States.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy Rakomelo, either in stores or online? Are there specific brands you recommend, or tips on which states or cities have shops that carry Greek spirits?

Rakomelo is such a fantastic drink—perfect for capturing those cozy, warm Greek vibes! If you’re looking to buy Rakomelo in the U.S., online retailers are your best bet. Websites like Greek Spirits or Ouzo World often stock popular brands like Babatzim and Tsilili, both known for their authentic, high-quality Rakomelo.

For local options, try checking out specialty liquor stores that carry international or Mediterranean spirits. Larger cities with Greek communities, like New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, might have shops that stock Greek drinks, so it's worth asking around or visiting those areas if you're nearby.

If you’re open to a bit of DIY, you could also try making Rakomelo at home. It's surprisingly easy—just warm up some raki or tsipouro with honey, cinnamon, and a few cloves.
