Quoting TheAenigma

I always picture her with matches in hand, striking one, throwing it into the kindling that is TC, then quietly moving on to her next subject with a secret smile on her face.

 

lol

Quoting Deli_kizin

Yes I love it too, but I only put some icecubes in it, not water like I put with raký or ouzo. Not everyone seems to agree that they are ´very´ simular though: I had two friends from the Netherlands with me on holiday this year, and we always drink Sambuca together on a night out, but they really couldn´t understand how people can drink raký.

 

 Ice in Sambuca????????? Nahhhhh - three coffee beans and light it, drink through the flames!  The Italian way hehehehe

Yes, I don´t think Raki is as sweet (or strong). Yilmaz will drink Raki, but dosen´t like Sambuca. And this is someone who will put çok, çok tatli in his çay!

 I havent tasted Raki nor Sambuca. I tried ouzo and i found it not as strong in alcohol as Arak.

 

Tradition requires that water is added to Arak before ice. If ice is added directly, it results in the formation of an aesthetically unpleasant skin on the surface of the drink, as the ice causes the fat to solidify out of the arak. If water is added first, the ethanol causes the fat to emulsify, leading to the characteristic milky colour.

 

 

Anyways, below is a link for the recipe of arak, any idea how they make Raki?

 Haa like that. I was already surprised

 

I was in a bar last summer, actually it was just as you describe, with a coffeebean and they set it on fire (I dont know what liquor it was, it wasnt sambuca but it was just as strong for sure), you were to drink it down immediately and then turn the glass on the table with a straw between it so you could ´breathe in´ the air that was left in your glass and supposedly the alcohol that vaporated by setting it on fire. Its supposed to make you get drunk quickly, but I wouldnt know because the alcohol probably already vaporated by the time I had the guts to put my lips to a glass that had just been on fire lol

 

I should try it out though. I realized it doesn´t get that hot

To me all sorts of anis, raki, arak and ouzo are equally tasteless. I don´t believe you can produce noble drinks from potato, sugar reed, anis or barley. Somehow however, Turkish people like raki and look down on other anis drinks. To me, there is not much difference at all.
