A very strong alcoholic drink made usually by the fermentation of grapes. Plums, apples, cherries and all fruit which can ferment can also be used to make it. The fruit is cut up into small pieces and put to ferment together with sugar and certain herbs (for aroma) in a wooden (or plastic) barrel.
The mix is then distilled in private distilleries. It is highly popular within the territory of the Balkan peninsula, mostly in Bulgaria, Serbia and Macedonia. Rakia has a nice, golden color which is a jot to the eye and a specific aroma for every fruit it is made of. Every rakia has a different quality, varying from the colour to the alcohol content.
