Arak is usually not drunk straight, but is mixed in approximately 1/3 arak to 2/3 water, and ice is then added!. This dilution causes the clear liquor to turn an opaque milky-white colour; this is because anethole, the essential oil of anise, is soluble in alcohol but not in water!. This results in an emulsion, whose fine droplets scatter the light and turn the liquid opaque, a phenomenon known as louching!. Arak is also commonly mixed with teas and juices!. Drinkers may also take arak with a chaser on the side!. Arak is usually served with mezza, which could include dozens of small dishes, which many arak drinkers prefer as accompaniment rather than main courses!. When the main course of the meal is served, it may hardly be touched, in favour of these smaller dishes!. It is also well appreciated with barbecues, along with garlic sauce!.

It apppears to compare with Ouzo

In modern Greece, ouzeries (the suffix -erie is imported from French) can be found in nearly all cities, towns, and villages!. These cafe-like establishments serve ouzo with mezedes — appetizers such as octopus, salad, sardines, calamari, fried zucchini, and clams, among others!. It is traditionally slowly sipped (usually mixed with water or ice) together with mezedes shared with others over a period of several hours in the early evening!.

In other countries it is tradition to have ouzo in authentic Greek restaurants as an aperitif, served in a shot glass and deeply chilled before the meal is started!. No water or ice is added but the drink is served very cold, enough to make some crystals form in the drink as it is served!.


If you think you might prefer it mixed with a soda why not try Vanilla Coke!. I think the vanilla and anise flavors will work well together!.
