Yeni Raki 70cl

Description

Savor the authentic flavors of the Mediterranean with our exquisite assortment of Ouzo and Raki.

Originating from Greece and Cyprus, Ouzo is a captivating aniseed-based liqueur, traditionally relished as an aperitif across the sun-soaked Mediterranean islands.

Tracing its roots back to the 14th century, ouzo gained prominence in the 19th century, particularly after Greek independence. The inaugural ouzo distillery, established by Nikolaos Katsaros in Tyrnavos in 1856, gave rise to the renowned ouzo Tyrnavou. As absinthe fell out of favor in the early 20th century, ouzo emerged as one of the preferred alternatives, earning the moniker “a substitute for absinthe without the wormwood.”

Raki, an unsweetened, anise-flavored Turkish libation, enjoys popularity in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkic nations, and the Balkan countries, serving as a beloved apéritif. Often paired with seafood or meze, Raki, like Ouzo, undergoes a mesmerizing cloudiness when mixed with water.

Rakı is commonly savored alongside a spread of meze—assorted hot and cold appetizers—creating the perfect accompaniment for a rakı sofrası, a convivial “rakı table.” Whether enjoyed prior to a full dinner or as a delightful substitute, Rakı adds a touch of conviviality to your gastronomic experience.
