I wanted to share with you a special drink that I have never heard of until I visited Greece this summer...RAKI.Raki is Greece's moonshine. It is a clear liquor that is traditionally made from boiling the left over grape skins and stems from a harvest for several hours. The remaining product is a strong, vodka-esk brew that can take you from 0 to 10 in a matter of 2 shots due to the high alcohol content. Each family has their own recipe and unique tradition to make their Raki.
Raki is served with fresh watermelon or fruit because of the strong taste (like sucking a lime after a shot of tequila). A typical way to serve the liquor is from a little bottle and small shot glasses (similar to Saki).
I love the idea of chasing it with something as refreshing as a watermelon wedge. Sounds yummy!
