editPronunciation
editNoun
editarak (usually uncountable, plural araks)
- A clear, unsweetened aniseed-flavoured alcoholic drink, produced and consumed primarily in the Levant.
- 2005 January 25, “The return of arak”, in The New York Times[1], →ISSN:
- A rite of the grape harvest in the Christian villages dotting the Lebanon mountain range […] is the perfectly legal distillation of homemade arak. This smooth, cool, refreshing liquor, tasting of licorice with a soupçon of peppermint, remains the staple drink at Sunday lunch, an eat-till-you-drop extravaganza of small meze dishes.
- 2015 February 6, Henry Jeffreys, “How to enjoy ouzo, even when you’re not on holiday”, in The Guardian[2], →ISSN:
- In Lebanon they have arak, in Turkey raki, and they even make something similar in Saudi Arabia. This is not so surprising as the Arabs were probably the first people to distil alcohol; alcohol is an Arabic word. “Arak” means “sweat” in Arabic, and describes the distillation process rather than what happens when you drink too much.
- Alternative spelling of arrack (an alcoholic drink distilled from coconut palm flowers or sugar cane)
