| Yeni Raki is known as the Turkish national drink (affectionately called ‘Lion’s Milk’ there). Somewhat similar to Arak, it is a distilled alcoholic beverage strongly aromatized with anise-seed. It may be enjoyed in a cocktail, but more commonly it is served with meze (Turkish hors d’œuvres and appetizers) such as Russian salad, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers dipped in garlic sauce, cold-cuts, fried vegetables, cold yogurt soup, shrimp, mussels in a vinaigrette. |
