    Heymiss our home made raki too,

    Not many people that I have introduced the Raki have been able to manage drinking and at times even not being able to finish a shot glass. A friend of mine in the Philippines during my visit there said to me “is like acid drilling through your stomach”

    Missing it very much and just to add to your blogg here are many other varieties of Raki such as, Plumb etc.
