Yeni Raki

Yeni Rakı is the most renowned brand of the traditional Turkish national drink rakı, distilled from grapes and flavored with anise. Established in 1944, it remains a cultural icon in Turkey, where rakı is deeply tied to gastronomy, social life, and traditions of hospitality.

The producer follows an authentic recipe that blends grape distillate with a strong anise aroma. Yeni Rakı is regarded as a premium representative of the aniseed spirit category and is affectionately called “lion’s milk” in Turkey—a reference to its milky color once diluted with water.
