Cocktails to Cool Down This Summer at Kanika Hotels & Resorts

Nothing says ‘summer holiday’ like refreshing cocktails on a sun-soaked island. In Cyprus, as the Mediterranean sun shines bright, there’s no better way to cool off than with a perfectly mixed drink.

At Kanika Hotels & Resorts, expert mixologists craft signature cocktails bursting with citrus, herbs, and local spirits. From classic favourites with a twist to unique blends inspired by Cyprus, every sip captures the season’s essence. Whether by the pool or back home, these cocktails bring the true flavour of a Cyprus summer.

Artemis

Zesty and refreshing, this MadeForTwo cocktail served at the Amavi and Amanti MadeForTwo Hotels, is inspired by Artemis, Greek goddess of the hunt and the Moon.

Its star ingredient, Masticha, is a unique Greek liqueur made from the resin of the mastic tree found on Chios. With herbal, pine, and subtly sweet notes, it brings a touch of ancient myth to every sip.

Blended with green apple, lemon juice, and sugar syrup, and served in an Old Fashioned glass, it’s the perfect drink for warm summer nights. Don’t forget to grab a bottle of Masticha to relive your Cyprus holiday back home.

Margarita on Aphrodite’s Rock

Aphrodites Rock, also known as ‘Petra tou Romiou’, is one of Cyprus’ most iconic landmarks, steeped in mythology and natural beauty. Located along the stunning coastline between Paphos and Limassol, this sea stack is said to be the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

Inspired by this stunning location, ‘Margarita on Aphrodite’s Rock’ is another MadeForTwo favourite. This delightful cocktail is crafted with tequila infused with Cyprus delight and cardamom, blended with Filfar Cyprus orange liqueur, a subtle combination of sun-ripened oranges and aromatic herbs from the island’s hillsides, passed down since the Venetian era, along with lemon juice and strawberries.

Made For Two Hotels

Sangria Sunset

Inspired by Kanika’s stunning sunsets, the ‘Sangria Sunset Cocktail’, served at Olympic Lagoon Resorts, Ayia Napa and Paphos, is a fruity blend of Cypriot rosé, coconut liqueur, strawberry syrup, spices, fresh fruit, and soda. It pays tribute to Cyprus’ 5,000-year-old winemaking heritage, where ancient traditions meet modern flair in every glass.

Want a taste of the Med at home? Mix chilled rosé with sliced strawberries and a splash of soda, let it chill, and serve over ice for your own sunset moment.

Free Spirit

Nothing says summer like juicy watermelon! A hit at Olympic Lagoon Resorts, the ‘Free Spirit’ cocktail blends Zivania with watermelon liqueur, lemon juice, mint, and lemonade for a cool, refreshing twist. Zivania is a traditional Cypriot spirit made from distilled grape pomace. With a bold 45–50% alcohol content and smooth, fiery notes of grape and raisin, it’s been a local favourite since the 14th century.

Want to recreate it at home? Blend fresh watermelon and lemon juice, add a shot of Zivania (or vodka), and serve over ice with mint.

Passionate Alexander

At, Alexander The Great Beach Hotel, the atmosphere comes alive as glasses clink and people gather under the sun. One standout drink, aptly named the ‘Passionate Alexander,’ is a real summer holiday favourite. This refreshing cocktail is made with Absolut Vanilla vodka, Passoa liqueur, and passion fruit purée, finished with a splash of fresh lemon juice that awakens the vibrant citrus flavours of Cyprus.
