Arak Brochure Arak. What is it? A potent liquor that hails from the Middle East. Arak is a clear, colorless liquor flavoured with anise, similar to ouza, pastis, or Raki. It is nicknamed “the milk of lions,” and is popular in Mediterranean countries. Commonly consumed in social settings, the drink is famous for its potency, and the milky-white color it turns when water is added to it. How is Arak served? Arak, literally the sweat of the distillation, has been refreshing the palates of the Levant for over a thousand years. Arak has high alcohol content and is best served ice cold with a 1/3 to 2/3 Arak/water mix and prepared by pouring first the Arak, then the water, followed by the ice and always in a fresh glass. it is not only what the drink is served with so much as it is how it is served. While water and ice are normally added, ice should never be added first. Ice causes a film to produce on theop t of the liquid that is seen as unpleasing, so adding water first turns the drink a milky color and inhibits the effects of ice alone. Using multiple glasses when drinking Arak is also common, due to the effects of mixing with water and ice. Middle Eastern restaurants will usually provide several glasses for their customers when serving arak. This smooth, cool, refreshing liquor, tasting of licorice with a hint of peppermint. Its palate-cleansing qualities complement the full spectrum of contrasting flavors found in mezze dishes such as olives, fresh almonds, spring onions, goat cheese and even raw, minced lamb, while its aniseed properties ensure that its always easy on the stomach. The mezze is usually a combination of flavors difficult to pair with wines. Therefore, we recommend Arak with the traditional Levantine mezze, as the aniseed taste refreshes the palate and makes every bite a new experience. There are drinks to get you drunk, and there are drinks to be savored with food, Arak represents the latter. Arak distillers also tout it’s holistic properties, claiming that the aniseed aids in digestion and relaxation. What Does Arak Taste Like? Tiran Arak is typically made from grapes, though dates, sugar, plums, figs, and molasses can be used depending on the region where it is made. Though Arak in its pure form is colorless, the clear liquid is aniseed-flavored. Aniseed is added to the distilled alcohol during the second of three distillation processes. The ratio of aniseed to alcohol can vary which results in different qualities of Arak, but the strength of the drink usually falls between 30%-60%. 2909 St. Johns Avenue 5A / Jacksonville, FL 32205 USA / P: 904.868.7991 / E: [email protected] / Skype: jasonbajalia / Web: www.terrasanctatrading.com CONTACT US TO PLACE AN ORDER IN YOUR AREA!

Contemporary ways to drink Arak. Arak is commonly mixed with water, which causes emulsification of the anise oils, turning the solution a milky white color. It is also sometimes mixed or chased with juices. Ice can also be added to Arak, however, it should be added after any mixer, because adding ice directly will cause fat to solidify out of the arak and leave a film on the surface of the drink, and the glass.

  • Presentation for Arak Paper
    Aim Some of the Buddhist ideologies of the Bagan period were completely different from the modern Buddhist society. Outline • Nats–worship and drinking alcohol • Forest monastery and the tradition of drinking Siy • Jātakas concerning drinking alcohol • Donation of Palmyra palm and drinking Than Yañ (Toddy Juice) Hypothesis Alcohol consumption had existed long before the tradition of drinking Siy and eating meat in the 13th century. Moreover, the practice of worshipping Nats with the offerings of alcohol and meat could have probably influenced the tradition of drinking Siy. It is the only sect of Buddhism accepted alcohol drinking, especially forest monastery monks. Alcohol and Surāmeraya Siy = Alcohol or fermented drinks Surāmeraya = to abstain from drinking alcohol, one of the five percepts of Buddhism • In Vera Sutta (AN 10.92), the Buddha preached fivefold set of vows to Anāthapindika the householder. • Along with the five percepts for layperson, the alcohol consumption is also restricted in the eightfold set of the 1-day fasting vows, the ten vows of the novice as well as the vows for the monks and nuns. • Buddhists believe that he who follow the five percepts would receive the reward of a place in heaven after death, and can eventually gain nirvana. Transgression of Vows surāmerayamjja contains three proper nouns Surā = the whole range of alcoholic drinks from beer-like beverages produced by fermentation Majja = wine-like drinks or spirits Meraya = distilled drinks produced from sugar of fruit • In general, all drinks which cause heedlessness and cloud the mind can be considered as alcohol. • Drinking this kind of beverage whether one knows it as alcohol or not can be considered as transgression of vows.

  • Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M
    Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M. Pilcher This is a very preliminary discussion of a book I hope to write on the globalization of beer. The first section outlines the literature and my research plan as sort of a first draft of a grant proposal intended to convince some funding agency to pay for me to travel the world drinking beer. The rest of the paper illustrates some of these ideas with three Asian case studies. I started with Asia in response to an invitation to participate in a recent SSRC Interasia Workshop in Istanbul and because the languages and meager secondary literature make it the hardest part of the project to research. There are mostly questions where the conclusions should be, and I welcome all suggestions. In June of 2013, Turkish crowds gathered in Istanbul’s Taksim Square to protest the growing authoritarianism of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Refusing to surrender their democratic freedoms, they opened bottles of Efes Pilsner and raised mock toasts to the tee-totaling Islamist politician: “Cheers, Tayyip!”1 The preference for European-style beer, rather than the indigenous, anise-flavored liquor arak, illustrates the complex historical movements that have shaped global consumer culture, and at times, political protests. Turkish entrepreneurs founded the Efes brewery in 1969, less than a decade after guest workers first began traveling to Germany and returning home with a taste for lager beer.2 This brief episode illustrates both the networks of migration, trade, and colonialism that carried European beer around the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the new drinking cultures that emerged as a result.
