Known by different names throughout the world such as Aguardiente, Raki and Oüzo, Arak is a liqueur made from grapes and anise seed. Many Eastern Mediterranean cultures have been serving Arak at celebrations and social gatherings for centuries.
Steeped in a culture of Arak drinkers, the creators of Miami ARAK noticed that not everyone enjoys the taste of Arak’s strong flavor. What about those who feel left out as soon as the bottle of Arak comes out and the drinks start flowing? How can we ensure that everyone enjoys the festivities? After thorough research and experimentation, the creators decided the best way accommodate everyone is to provide a lighter choice with lower alcohol content and a variety of flavors. First, to honor tradition and create a base for new flavor experiences, the “Original” Miami ARAK was created. The alcohol content, flavor and process are authentic to traditional ARAK. Next, came the creation of flavors inspired by nostalgic favorites and the tropical influences of Miami Arak’s birthplace, Miami Beach.
