    Default Arak ?

    Anyone tried this aniseed flavored distilled liquor? Any recommendations on brands available in the U.S. ?

    Yes! I drank Arak regularly during the 25 years I spent in Israel (Arak is enjoyed throughout the Mediterranean basin). I haven't a clue about what brands are available here in the US, or even which are good/better/best -- I'm afraid I wasn't a very discerning drinker, and bought the least-expensive bottle on the grocery store's shelf.

    Arak mixes-up nicely with fresh-squeezed orange juice, and is a delicious combination at all concentrations.
    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    A Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern grocery near me carries several different brands from different countries in different price ranges. From what I've read the Lebanese Araks are said to be very good. Will have to start trying them.
