Rakia

Flavours include apricot, fig and plum, but the best is unflavoured and made from grapes. Unlike most hard liquors, you drink it at the start of a meal when it really enhances the taste of a salad. It doesn’t go with any other food - or when it’s drunk on its own. You get a happy, confident buzz almost immediately but when you attempt to walk, you’ll find that your sense of balance has disappeared. Many Bulgarians make their own, which is stronger than the usual 40% proof, and in villages they have community stills where you can book timeslots.
