Commonly, there are four important steps to the arak sensation. First, pour the clear spirit into a fresh glass. Then add twice as much water along with some ice cubes. Admire for a moment the liquid’s transformation into an aromatic cloudy white creation, then taste. If you are drinking arak as an aperitif we recommend diluting the spirit by as much as six parts water to one park arak.
But the Massaya way is different: there is no need for water for a good arak. Pour two fingers of arak into a clean long drinking glass, fill the glass with ice and then shake it little bit before topping it again with ice. Start with a small sip and as ice melts you will enjoy a very refreshing, tasty and smooth arak.
Moments Heureux!
