Arak

Never Heard of Arak?

Arak, ouzo, raki, and other drinks like it come from the Mediterranean and Middle East. They all have one thing in common: They are flavored by anise, which tastes somewhat like fennel or licorice. Anise is one of the most ancient alcohol flavorings in human civilization, but is less well-known in the US, which can make it hard to find out where to buy ouzo, arak, and other anise liqueurs.

Anise liqueurs pair very well with many other flavors of the Mediterranean, such as olives, figs, and cheese.

Arak

Often at the 80 proof (40%) level, arak is the most potent of all the anise liqueurs. Found throughout the Mediterranean, but originally from Lebanon, arak is available in many different forms, often with additional flavors added.
