What is Arak?
Arak (Arabic: عرق) is a traditional Levantine spirit distilled from grapes and flavored with aniseed.
Naturally unsweetened and milky white when mixed with water, it’s a powerful, pure expression of our heritage - bold in character, and rich in tradition.
How To Drink Arak?
Arak is more than just a drink — it’s a ritual, a moment of connection. It starts with a splash of cold water and a cube of ice gently added to chill the drink perfectly. Traditionally, arak is enjoyed alongside a table full of mezze, Middle Eastern dishes, and fresh seafood, which beautifully complement its rich flavors. Nowadays, arak can also be savored in creative cocktails that blend tradition with modern tastes. Sharing arak with friends and family turns any gathering into a celebration filled with warmth and good company. This is how we drink, and how we truly connect.
How to mix Arak?
For the best experience, start by pouring arak into your glass. Slowly add two parts cold water and watch as the liquid turns a beautiful milky white, releasing the rich flavors of anise. Once mixed, gently add ice cubes to chill the drink perfectly and enjoy arak at its finest.
