The Tsipouro Tonic is a built brandy cocktail from Greece, made with tsipouro and tonic water, served in a wine glass over ice. It is sparkling.

Strength: about 8.7% ABV in the glass, roughly 14 g of alcohol and about 150 calories per drink (an estimate; brands, sugar and dilution vary).

Tsipouro without anise makes a clean, grapey highball, the way Thessaloniki and Volos bars now serve it.
