Raki
Anise flavored alcoholic beverage from Turkey similar to the Greek Ouzo, and Arabic Arak, but is less sweet and therefore tastes better (in my opinion)
Similar types of drinks are popular elsewhere in the Mediterranean e.g sambuca and pastis. But there's nothing like a good Raki, aka. Lion's milk.
Best enjoyed by the sea, with a view of the Bosporus at sunset, with a mezze selection (the minimum requirement being melon and feta cheese), fish, good music and good friends.
