What is raki drink?

Raki is a traditional Turkish alcoholic drink that is often compared to Ouzo or Arak. It is a clear, strong spirit that is usually made from grapes or other fruits, and is flavored with anise. Raki is typically served straight in small glasses, either neat or with the addition of water. It is also popular to drink raki with meze, a selection of small dishes and appetizers.

Raki has a strong anise flavor and a high alcohol content, usually around 40-50% ABV. It is considered to be the national drink of Turkey and is often consumed during social gatherings and celebrations. In fact, there is a saying in Turkey that "Raki makes you forget your troubles."

It is important to note that raki should be consumed responsibly, as it is a potent and strong spirit. It is recommended to drink plenty of water alongside raki to prevent dehydration and reduce the effects of the alcohol.
