Tentura (Greek: τεντούρα, from Venetian tentura 'tincture'), also spelled Tentoura, Tintura, or Tintoura, is a liqueur produced in the Greek city of Patras since the 15th century.
It is prepared by sweetening and flavoring various types of distillate alcohol with herbs and spices; thus the name tentura which comes from the Italian word tinctura[1] ('tincture').
The fermented essences of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and citrus fruits are the most common flavoring agents.
These aromatic ingredients give tentura its distinctive dark orange-red color and its alternative local name μοσχοβολήθρα (moschovolithra, lit.
[2] It is most often served chilled or over ice in a small glass after a large meal as a digestif.
