Traditional Aniseed Spirit
Arak Raki is a traditional aniseed-flavoured spirit with a rich cultural history, particularly in Turkey, where it is affectionately known as “lion’s milk.” Crafted from a smooth, multi-distilled grape base and infused with aromatic aniseed, it offers a bold yet refined character. When mixed with water, it transforms into a striking milky white appearance, creating the signature louche effect that defines this classic spirit.
Tasting Profile
Aromatic notes of aniseed lead into a smooth, full-bodied palate with subtle grape warmth. The finish is clean, lingering, and delicately spiced with a refreshing herbal lift.
Serving Suggestions
Traditionally served with chilled water to create the classic louche effect. Enjoy alongside seafood, grilled fish, olives, cheeses, or savoury appetisers, or serve over ice with a splash of water for a refreshing aperitif style drink. It can also be used to bring a distinctive aniseed character to spirit-forward cocktails.
