El Massaya Arak

A curious mix of late harvest grapes, and anise. The result is an aniseed flavour with a peppermint finish. With food, Arak cleans the palate, while the aniseed helps digestion. Often served cold (ice should be added last, after the 1/3 to 2/3 arak/water mixture) during outdoor summer lunches, arak is the perfect acompaniment to the Mezze (an array of small tasting dishes).
