HOW TO DRINK RAKI
The art of drinking rakı, Turkey’s most famous and potent local drink, is a skill deeply ingrained for most Turks and pitifully elusive to most foreigners. Made with aniseed and white grapes, rakı contains 40% alcohol and smells strongly of licorice. The best rakı, coming from Tekirdağ, near İstanbul, is best complemented by white cheese, watermelon, or fish, which bring out the flavor while soothing the stomach from the fiery impact of the liquor. Though most commonly drunk in conjunction with cold water (which turns it a cloudy white), rakı is occasionally mixed with orange juice or salgam, a spicy turnip juice. However you take it, rakı is best drunk slowly you will learn to respect its kick and in the company of good friends. Try drinking a spoonful of olive oil beforehand if you want to stay sober.
