Efe Raki - Efe Raki is the first privately produced Raki in Turkey. A panel of experts was brought together to produce the taste that defines Raki by an authentic recipe. Selected top-quality grapes and anis seeds of the Aegean coast gives Efe Raki its distinct taste and unmistakable aroma. Triple-distilled grape alcohol is redistilled in pot stills to offer the quality that is appreciated by even the most discriminating Raki drinkers. You may enjoy Efe Raki straight or by first adding water then ice.
