Raki

Raki is the national liquor from Turkey. It contains 45% alcohol and 1,5 anise per liter. Ah.... anise.... no wonder I like it very much.

To drink raki, you need to mix it with water (1:3 - raki:water). It tasted really good!!!

    bal: I was so impressed with Raki, hehehe... Too bad, I can't find any Raki here in Jakarta. What is the most popular brand for Raki?

    As you said, this is the most popular alcholic beverage in Turkey, but I think it's too strong for me. "Yeni Raki" brand seems to be pretty popular.
