I had to look it up too. It didn’t make a big impression. Possibly just a splash used. I am just getting used to this bar. All drinks are mixed at the south end. I will sit there next time. The lady 2 stools to my left ordered a special g&t that I wish I could have discretely photographed. Large cucumber slice garnish.

Quote:
Metaxa (Greek: Μεταξά) is a line of branded Greek alcoholic drinks, each a flavored amber blend of spirits and Muscat wine, aged in oak barrels. Several Metaxa products have numbered "star" designations indicating, according to different sources, either the product's age, the number of base spirits and wines used in making it, or simply the quality level (itself a reflection of the age). Metaxa's main exported products are 5 Star, 7 Star, 12 Star, and Private Reserve. (Metaxa 3 Star is not exported.) . . . .
