When olive meets Metaxa: Signature cocktail Sarmatini

Cocktail recipe by Gerhard Tsai, Tür 7

In September 2025, the Sarmatini celebrated its premiere at the American Bar Tür 7 in Vienna. Inspired by Greece and created by Gerhard Tsai, the cocktail combines two icons of Mediterranean culture: Sarmakinas premium olive oil and Metaxa 12 Stars.

The Sarmatini shows that olive oil can do much more than just be drizzled over bread—it becomes the heart of an elegant drink full of character that refreshes bar culture.
