METAXA imbues the glimmering rays and spell-binding scent of
summer into your evenings. More than 2000 hours of sunshine burst
from every bottle, calling you to bask beneath its lustrous rays
and give in to its tempting touch. Allow every METAXA-inspired
cocktail to breathe a caressing breeze upon your evening, and to
bring alive vibrant summer moments. Bring your friends
together and share good times over METAXA’s radiant smoothness.

Tonight and throughout the Season, dive into the Mediterranean
Sun with a mouth-watering METAXA Suntonic cocktail. To enjoy your
own glass of METAXA 5 Stars Suntonic, pour chilled tonic water over
two or three ice cubes into a long drink glass, then garnish with a
slice of fresh orange. Now, ”here comes the Sun” - pour
4cl (1.5 oz) of METAXA 5 Stars into a Sunball and watch as it
lights up - the gleaming orb of sunshine adorns your glass
celestially all evening long.

Invite your friends to celebrate the Summer Solstice with
METAXA’s refreshing Suntonic cocktail and the illuminating
Sunball, and make the most out of each sun-drenched occasion.
Let METAXA ignite your summer nights and brighten the moments you
share with dear friends.

METAXA: Touch the Sun!

About METAXA 5 Stars:

Smoothness revealed

A beautifully balanced marriage of fine wine distillates matured
up to five years in oak casks and of Muscat wines from the Aegean
islands. A treat, dark honey in colour, floral, fruity, intensely
aromatic with soft oak flavours and a rewarding personality.

About the METAXA Sunball:

Considered as one of the most innovative service items for
contemporary drinks, the clear METAXA Sunball holds 4cl (1.5 oz) of
METAXA and lights up upon contact with the noble liquid. A
proprietary innovation of the House of METAXA, this service item is
available in selective bars around the world.

This year marks the first Summer Solstice celebration with the
METAXA Sunball.

About the House of METAXA:

Founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, a man of taste and natural
risk taker. Since 1888, METAXA starts where other spirits stop. In
a league of its own, METAXA is the smoothest spirit under the Sun
thanks to its Muscat wines from the Aegean islands. METAXA is the
only international spirit to bring together fine aged wine
distillates and these intensely aromatic Muscat wines. Smooth,
aromatic and endlessly versatile, METAXA brings a touch of Sun at
the heart of your long drinks and cocktails alike.
