Rakija - the brandy

Rakia is considered to be the national drink among some of the South Slavic peoples in Serbia. Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia and Montenegro. Its most common form, slivovitz, is produced from plums. The most common fruits are peaches, apricots, apples, figs, and quinces. In Istria, however, rakija is made exclusively from grapes, where the drink is also known by the more local names of trapa and grappa (the latter name also being used in Italy). Plum and grape rakija is sometimes mixed with other ingredients, such as herbs, honey, sour cherries and walnuts, after distillation.
