How It’s Enjoyed

Arak is traditionally enjoyed:

1. Diluted with cold water (often 1 part arak to 2 parts water) — this causes the spirit to “louche” (turn milky‑white) and open up the aromatics.
2. With ice after dilution, making it more refreshing.
3. As an aperitif or digestif alongside mezze, grilled meats, fish, olives, and Mediterranean dishes.

Character & Style
