Also known as Arrack, Arraki, Racki, Rakija. This is group of (usually) colorless distillates made from sugar cane juice or rice. They are very popular in the Middle East and the South Pacific and to a lesser degree in the Balkans. They may be flavored with figs, dates, grapes, raisins or plums and are usually bottled at 40-50% alcohol. How to serve: Arak should be drunk in fairly abstemious measures. Owing to its rough potency, arak is not generally served chilled, and it is safer to sip it appreciatively.[] Argentarium(tm): A popular Italian local orange brandy made by monks. See Orange Brandy.
