YENI RAKI 700 ML

Country of Origin: Turkey.
Alcohol Volume: 45% ABV (90 Proof).
Sugar Content: Negligible. It is considered a "non-sweet" spirit with no added sugars, typically containing only trace amounts of residual sugars from the grape distillation process.
Pairing Recommendations:
Rakı is rarely consumed alone; it is the center of a social "Rakı table" featuring small shared plates.
Classic Staples: White cheese (typically feta/beyaz peynir) and chilled honeydew melon are the essential first pairings.
Mezes: Cold appetizers such as hummus, haydari (yogurt dip), mashed eggplant, and stuffed grape leaves.
Seafood: Grilled octopus, fried calamari, marinated anchovies, and fresh fish like sea bass or sardines.
Mains: It stands up well to hearty flavors like lamb kebabs, dürüm, or spicy meat dishes.
The "Lion's Milk" (Traditional): Pour one part rakı followed by one part chilled water. The mixture turns a milky white color (the "louche" effect) as the anise oils emulsify.
Serving Temperature: Best served chilled at approximately 8°C–10°C.Ice: Always add water before adding ice cubes. Adding ice directly to neat rakı can cause the anise oils to crystallize, creating "platelets" that spoil the texture.
Rakı Mojito: Replace rum with rakı, muddling with mint, lime, and soda.
Anatolian Mule: Mix rakı with ginger beer, lime juice, and a touch of honey.
Rakı Negroni: Combine equal parts rakı, Campari, and sweet vermouth.
