first of all u won't drink it on bar or somewhere like that. u need cold water but no ice cause ice makes raki cristalized then u need a cheese, salad, watermelon or melon. u have to find good friends to drink and u will have to chat them all nightlong. u need turkish art musics and also some public music if u have a friend u know how to play "ud" that must be amazing... its a culture and art... drinking raki!!!
