RAKIA LIST
RAKIA LIST
Rakia is the traditional drink of Bulgaria and the Balkans. It is a clear alcoholic beverage made by the distillation of fermented fruit. It has a high alcohol content varying anywhere between 40% and 60%+ ABV making it quite a potent drink. There are different types of rakia, all depending on what fruit it is made of (grapes, plums, apricots, pears, apples, cherries, figs, quinces). In Bulgaria, rakia made from grapes (like Italian grappa) is the most popular, but slivovitza (rakia made from plums) and also apricot rakia are also very popular. Rakia is most commonly made from grapes and is a limpid, crystal-clear liquid with an intense aroma and the fine unmistakable flavour of the fruit it is made from.
In Bulgaria rakia is a part of everyday life, and somehow the country wouldn't be the same without it. "Rakia and Salad" is a combination unsurpassed and is the most traditional complement of food and drink. For many generations rakia has been made in the Bulgarian villages. Nowadays more and more of it is being commercially produced in distilleries.
