At a glance

  • Green citron liqueur in a 350ml bottle
  • Made in the tradition of Naxos citron
  • Prepared with citron leaves harvested for their aroma
  • Leaves are distilled in an alcohol bath using a traditional boiler

Citron leaves and distillation

Citron trees grow in several parts of Naxos, including the plains of Eggare and Sangrios and valleys further inland. The leaves are the part used for citron liqueur, while the fruit is also used for spoon sweets.

Preparation begins when the leaves have reached their full aroma. Harvesting starts in September and may continue through winter. The leaves are cleared of dry or diseased parts before being distilled in an alcohol bath in a traditional boiler. Their essential oil dissolves into the alcohol during this process.

The green expression

The traditional distillate is presented in three basic types: white, green and yellow. The green type is described at 30 degrees, distinguishing it within the Naxos citron range. This bottle offers a focused way to discover a distinctive traditional Greek spirit associated with the island.

Promponas and Naxos citron

Promponas presents a liqueur centred on the citron of Naxos. The island’s citron drink developed from an earlier preparation known as citronarako, before a distillate made with alcohol and citron leaves became known as citron of Naxos.

Naxos citron is described as one of three Greek spirits with a designation of origin. The result is a bottle rooted in the island’s citron-growing landscape and leaf-distillation practice.
