Topic: Arak (liqueur)


  
 Arak (liqueur) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the basic varieties, considered by many to be the prototypical arak, is distilled from grapes and anise.
Arak or araq (Arabic: عرق IPA [ʕaraq]) is a clear, colourless aniseed-flavoured alcoholic drink, produced in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.
Other similar drinks are the arak of Iraq, made from fermented date juice, the zibib of Egypt, a peasant-made drink, and Greek ouzo, the most popular aperitif in that country.

The first liqueur was probably made when aniseed berries were added to distilled palm wine in the Eastern Mediterranean as long ago as 800 BC and this beverage, known even 2,500 years ago as arak, has remained the most popular alcoholic drink of the en- tire Middle-East.
Arak, which is now made when aniseed berries are steeped in a neutral spirit, is a colorless, licorice flavored liqueur that can be consumed either with or without water.

Related drinks are anisette, ouzo, raki, Mastika and arak.
