Al Rawabi Arak

Al Rawabi Arak is a traditional Levantine arak, the anise-flavored grape spirit that is the national drink of Lebanon and a fixture of every mezze table from Beirut to the Bekaa Valley. Arak is made by distilling grape wine, then redistilling it with aniseed, which gives it a clean licorice flavor and the famous milky cloud that appears the moment water is added.

Al Rawabi is a classic, easy-drinking arak: bright anise, a clean grape spirit underneath, and a crisp, warming finish. Serve it the traditional way, one part arak to two parts cold water, then ice, in a small glass alongside hummus, tabbouleh, kibbeh, grilled meats, and olives. It is the perfect companion to a long Middle Eastern dinner, and a great pick for anyone who loves ouzo or pastis. This 750 ml bottle is an excellent value.
