Yeni Raki 2 Glasses Gift Pack

Tasting Notes

Yeni raki is the Turkish national drink, affectionately called lion's milk there. Somewhat similar to arak, it's strongly aromatized with aniseed. It may be enjoyed in a cocktail, but it's served more commonly with meze: Turkish hors d'oeuvres and appetizers such as sliced tomatoes and cucumbers with garlic sauce; cold cuts; fried vegetables; cold yogourt soup; and shrimp and mussels in a vinaigrette.
