Arak Ksarak

Arak Ksarak is one of Lebanon’s most celebrated araks — made from fine grape alcohol infused with aniseed from the Al Heenah area of Mount Hermon, then aged two years in clay jars for an exceptionally smooth, refined character.

Lebanon’s national drink, Arak Ksarak is built on premium grape alcohol and prized Mount Hermon aniseed, distilled and matured two years in traditional clay jars. The result is a clean, aromatic anise spirit that pairs beautifully with mezze. It turns milky-white when mixed with water and ice — the customary serve.
