Al Nabaa Genuine Nazarene Ark 750 ML

Al Nabaa Genuine Nazarene Arak is a traditional Levantine arak, a clear spirit distilled from fermented grapes and aniseed in the style produced across Lebanon and the wider eastern Mediterranean for centuries. Like other araks, it's built to turn milky white when mixed with water and ice, the anise oils emulsifying into a cloudy louche as the spirit dilutes. Expect a strong, licorice-forward anise character up front with the grape distillate underneath giving it more body than a simple anise liqueur. It's a spirit for drinkers curious about traditional Middle Eastern distilling rather than the more familiar ouzo, pastis, or raki styles, and it's traditionally poured as an aperitif alongside mezze.

How to drink Al Nabaa Genuine Nazarene Arak

Mix it roughly one part arak to two parts cold water, poured over ice in a small tumbler, the traditional Lebanese serve — watch it turn cloudy white as the anise oils release. Serve it alongside mezze like hummus, olives, or grilled meat rather than as a standalone shot.
