Dilution with water causes Rakı to turn a milky-white colour, similar to the louche of Absinthe. This phenomenon has resulted in the drink being popularly referred to aslan sütü (“lion’s milk”). It’s a Turkish colloquial metaphor for a strong, courageous man, this gives the term a meaning close to “the milk for the strong.” Efes Pilsener 9.50 The Turkish beer, and number one beer in the Mediterranean!
