Kástra Elión, Greek olive vodka, makes for elegant sipping with a modicum of richness. Don’t skip the olives in a martini; the style delivers however a whiff of the flavoring. The vodka is distilled from wheat and a mix of olives hand-picked in Nafpaktos, a city outlined by a fort, the Kástra of the title. (Elión is a spinoff of the phrase “olive.”) It is available in a stunning glass bottle.
