Description:

Arak Raki is a traditional aniseed-flavoured spirit with a rich cultural history, particularly in Turkey, where it is affectionately known as "the lion’s milk." With origins rooted in the ancient art of distillation, Arak Raki is made from a smooth, multi-distilled grape base and infused with aromatic aniseed, delivering a bold yet refined taste. When mixed with water, it transforms into a striking milky-white colour, creating a beautiful "louche" effect that showcases its unique character.

Serving Suggestions: Traditionally served with chilled water on the side or mixed directly with water, it pairs perfectly with a variety of meze—Turkish appetizers like olives, cheeses, and stuffed vine leaves. It complements seafood dishes, especially grilled fish and shrimp, and is ideal with red meats like kebabs. For a refreshing twist, serve it with ice and a splash of water for the full louche effect, or use it as a base for cocktails for a uniquely aniseed-forward drink experience.

ABV: 45%
