raki

“My sales have dropped by 90 percent,” said Nurettin, the owner of a store filled with wine, beer, Raki and whisky.

Raki is a colourless spirit, extracted from the skins of grapes after the wine-making.

Moreover, I had heard of this raki of theirs, which is so much fire-water, and I didn't take their temperance very seriously.

The servants were clearing away the coffee and the raki, and bearing off the open and half-emptied cigar-boxes.
