Yeni Raki 750ml

Yeni Raki is Turkey's best-known raki, an anise-flavored grape spirit distilled in the same family as ouzo and pastis. Made from a base of grape spirit redistilled with aniseed, it's bottled clear and turns cloudy white — the 'lion's milk' effect — the moment water or ice hits the glass. Unsweetened and assertively anise-forward, it's a spirit built around ritual as much as flavor: a slow-sipping accompaniment to a long meal rather than a mixing base. This bottle is the standard-bearer of Turkish raki, found on tables across the country.

How to drink Yeni Raki

Pour over ice and add cold water to taste — about equal parts — and watch it turn milky white. Sip slowly alongside meze, grilled meats, or seafood, the traditional way to drink it.
