I love that stuff! Helps that I like anise. It’s a lot like Ouzo, of course… I first ran into arak at a college bar in Lansing, MI. It’s cool how it turns milky when you add water. A similar spirit is aguardiente, the national liquor of Columbia. Arak is hard to find but I located it in a couple stores in Denver.
Man, I don’t know if it was as potent as it felt, or if it was just the anise flavor making it feel more so, but it seems like a good fit for college town bars 😄
I was so happy to hear that it’s not unusual to serve it on the rocks and/or watered down. He referred to it as some kind of “milk”… “Lion’s milk” maybe? (I maybe should have paid closer attention, but he was kind of a creeper)
I for sure wouldn’t trust some weird dude serving me “lion’s milk”, ha ha. And yeah, in Lansing they served it in a small tumbler on the rocks. It is very strong, I think the bottle I got (which was very ME style and looked awesome) was 90 proof.
