From the first drop 500 years ago rakı has been part of a proud history that is born out of a true and honest way of life. The alcoholic beverage called rakı has an origin that extends back to around 2000 B.C., to Anatolia’s wine culture. The people of Anatolia developed and perfected a new craft over the centuries; distilling alcohol they obtained by fermenting grapes. As we explore rakı’s past, we arrive at the story of how their knowledge gave rise to the powerful, aniseed-scented drink we know today. Unlike any other drink in the world, rakı is a drink with an entire cuisine devoted to it. Rakı serving is never a solo act. The focus of the rakı table is not the food but the atmosphere of lovely conversations with friends, family, and loved ones. For further, ''The Spirit of Turkey'' and the ''Rakı&Fish: A Mediterranean Seafood Odyssey'' are the perfect sources for detailed information about the rakı culture.
