Gantous \u0026amp; Abou Raad craft their Arak from just three ingredients: grape spirit, aniseeds, and water. Nothing more. The result is a distinctively clean, bright spirit with an intensely aromatic anise character that has been shared at Lebanese tables for centuries. Pour it over ice, add cold water, and watch it transform into a milky, fragrant cloud — the louche effect is part of the ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and intensely aromatic.
