Shokolad, Menta, Mastik (Hebrew: שוקולד מנטה מסטיק, English translation: Chocolate, mint, gum) was an Israeli musical trio active from 1972 to 1978. It initially consisted of Yardena Arazi, Ruthie Holzman and Tami Azaria. Azaria was replaced by Leah Lupatin in 1973.[1][2]

All the performers served in the Israel Defense Forces as part of Lehakat HaNahal. The trio performed both in Israel and internationally,[3] especially after being Israel's 1976 entry to the Eurovision Song Contest with "Emor Shalom".[4]

Leah Lupatin later worked with 1979 Eurovision winners Milk and Honey, replacing Gali Atari to perform their winning Eurovision entry "Hallelujah" in live concerts, including the 1981 Songs of Europe programme.
