Citraki – A Taste of Cyprus
Introduction
Citraki was born from a deep passion for the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean and a love for Cyprus’ rich cultural heritage. Inspired by the island’s sun-soaked citrus groves and its longstanding tradition of crafting fine liqueurs, we set out to create a liqueur that truly captures the essence of Cyprus. With its lush landscape, fertile soil, and ideal climate, Cyprus provides the perfect environment for growing the finest lemons and oranges.
Our journey began with the idea of preserving the authentic taste of Cyprus. From the very start, we committed to sourcing only the highest quality, handpicked citrus fruits from local Cypriot groves. This dedication to using natural, locally grown ingredients ensures that every bottle of Citraki delivers an unmatched, refreshing citrus experience that is deeply rooted in the island’s heritage.
Today, Citraki represents not just a premium citrus liqueur, but a celebration of Cypriot tradition and Mediterranean sophistication. Each sip of Citraki brings with it the story of the island — a story of sun, sea, and the timeless art of crafting exceptional liqueurs.

The Origin of Our Ingredients
The exceptional quality and flavor of Citraki start with the finest ingredients sourced from the diverse landscapes of Cyprus. Our lemons and oranges are grown in the island’s sun-soaked lowlands, where the warm temperatures create the perfect environment for citrus to thrive. These fertile, lower-altitude regions ensure that the fruit ripens under optimal conditions, developing the vibrant flavor and aroma that define Citraki.
Each lemon and orange is handpicked at its peak ripeness, capturing the bright, zesty essence of Cyprus in every sip. By working closely with local farmers who have cultivated these lands for generations, we ensure that every fruit we use meets the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
But what truly sets Citraki apart is our unique blend of secret botanicals, some of which are sourced from the island’s untouched mountain regions. These remote, elevated areas provide a pristine environment where wild herbs and botanicals flourish, untouched by modern agriculture. This careful selection of mountain botanicals adds an intriguing depth and complexity to Citraki, creating a harmonious balance with the citrus flavors from the lowlands.
Our commitment to using natural, locally sourced ingredients reflects our dedication to sustainability and authenticity. From the sun-drenched citrus groves to the hidden herbs of the mountains, Citraki brings the best of Cyprus’ diverse landscapes to your glass.
