Yeni Raki

Step into a Turkish meyhane, where laughter, conversation, and small plates of meze fill the table, and there's almost always a bottle of Yeni Raki at its center. Known as "lion's milk" for the way it turns milky-white when mixed with water, Yeni Raki is Turkey's most beloved spirit, steeped in tradition and poured at gatherings both grand and quietly personal.

Crafted through a meticulous process, Yeni Raki begins with high-quality grape-derived suma, twice distilled and infused with aromatic aniseed. The result is a bold, aromatic spirit with a distinctive character that has made it a cultural icon far beyond Turkey's borders.

Enjoy it neat, or add a splash of water or mineral water to watch it transform into its signature milky-white hue, releasing even more of its rich aroma and flavor while gently cooling the drink. Either way, it's the perfect companion for meze, lively company, and unhurried evenings.
