Rakija

Rakija, the greatest slavic drink right after Vodka.

You will most often see Rakija on the Balkans(mostly Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia). You can find some in Poland, Germany and little bit in Norway and Sweden.
But if you want the original, the best, the strongest you will go to the Balkans.

Basically everyone has it because everyone has the ingredients in the backyard or they just "borrow" some from their neighbors. All you need to make it Is hot water and some fruits (depending on what kind of taste you want) is apples, pears and most popular plums.

It is most often in shots.
Vodka may knock you down in 1 shot, but Rakija can do too, a shot or two you will be on the ground singing some Halid Bešlić (very popular Balkan singer from Sarajevo) songs.

If you are new on the Balkans the best way to make friends is to offer Rakija.
