THE HISTORY OF RAKI
For nearly two centuries, Rakı is enjoyed with delicious Turkish Meze
(traditional starters) and cuisine accompanied by sceneries of the beautiful
landscapes of the Aegean Coast.
The home of Rakı in the world is Turkey. Rakı was first produced during
the rule of the Ottoman Empire.
Some people believe that the word “Rakı” comes from the type of the grape
called “Razaki”.
Locally in Turkey, Rakı is known as “lion’s milk” due its pure white colour.
Another reason is that; in old Ottoman pubs, it used to be served in metal
cups embossed with a lion picture.
