Sarkis Arak is a traditional Lebanese spirit that holds cultural significance in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and neighboring regions. Arak is a distilled alcoholic beverage typically made from grape alcohol and flavored with aniseed. Sarkis Arak follows this traditional method, producing a spirit that is clear in color and becomes milky white when mixed with water due to the anise oils becoming insoluble.
In terms of taste, Sarkis Arak is characterized by its strong licorice-like flavor from the aniseed, balanced by a subtle sweetness from the grape alcohol. It has a refreshing and crisp profile, making it a popular choice as an aperitif or accompanying meals in Lebanese cuisine.
Sarkis Arak is often enjoyed by pouring it over ice and diluting it with water, which not only enhances its flavor but also transforms its appearance into the traditional milky white known as "louching". It is an integral part of cultural celebrations and social gatherings in Lebanon, appreciated for its distinctive taste and its role in communal dining experiences.
