Description
Arak Massaya has a beguiling aniseed flavor and freshness that cleanses the palate and aids digestion. It is often served as an aperitif and then as the perfect accompaniment to a classic selection of mezze, the array of dishes with contrasting aromas that starts many lunchtime or evening meals in Lebanon. Arak works particularly well with the mezze dishes that include parsley, raw tomatoes, lemon, mint, and garlic – flavors that are sometimes harder to match with wine.
