Yeni Raki
Yeni Raki
Description
Yeni Raki is Turkey's most iconic raki — often called the country's unofficial national drink — a twice-distilled anise spirit made from suma and aniseed.
Yeni Raki is produced by twice distilling suma (grape-based spirit) blended with ethyl alcohol and aniseed. Like all raki it louches into a milky white when water is added, and its aromatic anise character has made it a fixture of Turkish social and dining culture for generations.
It is traditionally served with cold water and ice alongside meze, shared slowly across a meal at the raki table.
