Arak Al Laytany

Arak Al Laytany is a Lebanese arak, the anise-flavored grape spirit that is the national drink of Lebanon, named for the Litani River that runs through the Bekaa Valley, the country's great vineyard region. Arak is made by distilling grape wine, then redistilling it with aniseed, which gives it a clean licorice flavor and the famous milky cloud that appears the moment water is added.

Bottled at a robust 45% ABV, Al Laytany is bright and clean with bold anise, a smooth grape spirit underneath, and a crisp, warming finish. Serve it the traditional way, one part arak to two parts cold water, then ice, in a small glass alongside hummus, tabbouleh, kibbeh, grilled meats, and olives. This 750 ml bottle is an authentic, well-priced arak for anyone who loves ouzo or pastis.
