Metaxa is a Greek liqueur invented by Spyros Metaxa in 1888.

Metaxa is a blend of brandy and wine, additionally flavoured with a secret herbal mixture that includes rose leaves, and aged in oak casks. It was first sold in the United States in 1900 and is popular in many countries today. Metaxa is generally available in three versions: Three Star (at least three years old), Five Star (at least five years old), and Seven Star (at least seven years old). Additional varieties and collectors items are available only in some regions.
