Guys, nobody drinks Rakı like that. You mix it half and half with water. And even so, you have a spare glass of just water to drink after each sip. That's why you couldn't drink it. What you did was like trying mustard by eating it.

+Dogan Tosun I prefer it well cooled in the freezer, neat. Just like ouzo.

[@BigOkazyons]

+Dogan Tosun To any foreigners out there who wants to drink raki; DO NOT drink it neat. The best way to drink it is mixing it with water and a couple of ice cubes. Optimum amount of water you should add -according to me- is half the amount of raki you pour in the glass. And DO NOT drink it as shots. You should drink it slowly. I dont recommend consuming it with main course meals because of its dominant taste. But also never ever drink it with an empty stomach. Maybe this may sound weird to you but try it with a couple of slices of feta cheese and melon than you can appreciate its true taste :)

[@giupinkfairy]

To be fair, the test subjects seem to be twenty-something hipsters and a couple gay dudes who are also twenty-something hipsters. Actual adults who drink liquor will appreciate the fact that all booze tastes like shit and we tolerate it because of the buzz. Remember that first sip of beer you had as a kid? Nobody changed the taste later on, you just realized it made you feel funny.

[@FeeOJLee]

I shouldn't have laughed at this comment but I did

[@danielallen6807]

I'm not so sure on that score, yep beer tasted horrid when you were a wee sprog but I think that it is an acquired taste I brew my own beer and spirits and enjoy the taste of any alcohol I do drink. If you are drinking purely for the buzz thats a bit of a worry. Maybe just smoke weed, you get a buzz, its cheaper and you are fully functional the next day

[@brunoclak]

whiskey tastes amazing. beer too. stick with those two.

[@GeoNeilUK]

That's true, they gave inexperienced drinkers spirits to drink neat, an experienced would be able to tell from the taste of neat spirit, maybe even from the smell, what that spirit would go well with.

[@GeoNeilUK]

Also, they're hipsters but they hate Malort (comes as no surprise that at least one hipster would know what Malort is) and are genuinely panicking when they find out it's made of Wormwood, y'know, the same stuff *Absinthe* is made from! I thought hipsters were all over Absinthe!

[@laszlofoldi6030]

Drinking pálinka like that is so wrong in so many levels... You're using a wrong type of glass, you should not serve more than 2 cl and it should be around 18-20°C. Alao try to drink little and taste more. If you're drinking a quality palinka and not the cheap store ones you should taste the fruit(s). As a Hungarian I can tell you, a good palinka is like life elixir.

[@hellithepaparazzi]

+László Földi but still for a person who has never met that before the fruity ones is strong as well. Anyone who drinks it should be warned that the smell and the taste is really different! :) Actually I liked their reacton....they are weak :D

I like how they pull out Malort like Chicago is a foreign country.

[@pretentiousred6159]

It's still very much Swedish since it never really caught on in the rest of America. What I mean by that is that we don't have a variety of malört recipes that we have come up with, it's really just that one company. True, Jeppson's malört is made in Chicago, but it was brought there by a Swedish immigrant and the recipe hasn't really changed much since, if at all.

[@brottarnacke]

It's everyone's dad's favorite schnapps in Sweden.

Wait... isn't wormwood what they had to take out of Absinthe because it's believed to cause hallucinations?

[@whitewidow6196]

That's wormwood. Although some researchers found out it wasn't causing hallucinations, poor distilling methods were

[@Babys-Interior]

Oh! Well my whole life is a lie.. The more you know *rainbow*

[@titanium_aura]

Michelle Evans My grandmother grew wormwood in her garden, and I have some in mine too. I've chewed on some more than once, and it tastes very interesting. Incredibly bitter, and not at all pleasant. But considering it's popular to make tea out of for medicinal purposes, I can't imagine it being particularly dangerous.

[@Babys-Interior]

***** idk man, the guy rocking back and forth under bridge after I walked passed him begs to differ. 

[@MojitoMouse]

Michelle Evans I don't think they removed it from Absinthe, since it is one of the main ingredients, they just made the drink itself illigal in different parts of the world.. :O And also, wormwood can cause hallucinations, you just have to take the right ammount of it.. :P Like any other medical plant, it's like, take a little, medical benefits, take some more, you get high, take too much, you die.. :O But where it tips between those stages is different between different medical plants.. :P

No no no no no NO u dont simply shot Yeni Raki . U need a skinmy glass put ice in it if u want and rhen pour the Raki in it ofcourse it would tast horrible it isnt ment to be drank like that. You need to mix it with water

[@RubinaShiver]

Cynar and Fernet Branca are not to drink in shots as they are doing in this video with every liquor they are trying: italian people (generally middle aged men) usually drink them in small quantity and little sips after heavy meals (generally in restaurants) as digestives.

[@ccoolpurple]

+Rubina Shiver Art Also, they're both apperitives, not liquors, so they should be mixed with other liquids. For example, Fernet Branca must bre drinked with Coca Cola, or expresso; Cynar with citric juice.

[@RubinaShiver]

+Pilar Varas yes you can also mix them with other things but they are mainly supposed to be served alone after meals and they are called "amari digestivi". Aperol and Campari are aperitifs.

[@RubinaShiver]

+Rubina Shiver Art Aperol and Campari are examples of aperitifs and must be mixed, nobody drinks them alone.

[@RubinaShiver]

+Space Lion well everybody's taste is different, nobody pushes you to follow the rules and drink them as it's said. Anyway, if they want to taste some really good italian liquor they should try Amaretto Disaronno, that's good both alone and mixed with coke or orange juice.

That's because Americans are not properly introduced to alcohol during their life. In Italy, for example, your taste will mature to the extent where Fernet Branca will be equal to a shot of water.

[@akovtun0]

Yeah, that's the point these guys are missing all over with other drinks, too. It matters big time how do you drink it, and what food should maybe come along with it. Never tried original Hungarian palinka, but must be more or less the same as found under this name in Ukraine's Transcarpathia - hugely influenced by Hungarian culture. If so, you'd also want some fat, meaty, and spicy to go with it, like paprikash, or stuffed cabbage.

[@Bazze03]

You are half wrong half right. It was founded in America, but it was founded by a swedish emigrant who took his recipe with him from Sweden and started selling it in America when alcohol was illegal. So the production is american but the drink is swedish in my opinion, also because its snaps/akvavit which is scandinavian.

Cynar is an artichoke bitter (aperitif/digestif) that italians drink before or after great meals, usually lunches. Bitters (amaros) are popular in Italy and great examples are Fernet Branca, Campari, Cinzano, Braulio and Averna.

Fernet is also quite popular in Czechia (we have such lovely nicknames for it such as "coffin varnish" or "Grim Reaper's kiss". Some people it straight, but most often it's mixed with tonic (we call that "Bavarian cocktail") or Coke.

[@crazy_Fred]

Fernet Branca in Italy it is considered an "ammazzacaffé" (meaning "coffee-killer", a liqueur used to dull a bit the taste of coffee). It is usually drunk together (caffè corretto) or right after coffee after a big lunch, and some people use the same cup where they had coffee so it takes a bit of the strong taste of espresso.

[@violiniistt]

First of all, It's not black licorice, Rakı is made of grapes. And you can't just drink like a shot. You have to drink with water. And you have to eat something with it. And it called meze in Turkish. Briefly, it has a culture. And rakı is not for everyone :)

[@StavrosC3]

LOL you don't put water or drink it with water whatsoever.In Creta,Greece we have our own raki and we drink it like a shot with a 'meze' :)

[@TorThryse]

Yeah, we need to see them drink gammel dansk for breakfast.

[@DrazenkoDjuricic]

Oh man. Noobs! Cynar is great e.g. in orange juice or coke. And you're supposed to add water to Raki (Greeks have something similar: "Ouzo"); you don't drink that stuff "pure".

[@AsbjornGrandt]

Drazenko Djuricic Rookie mistakes :P The one I mentioned, Gammel Dansk, is a bit like Fernet-Branca, just quite a bit more bitter. More.. Nordic.

[@DrazenkoDjuricic]

I am just reading through the KZbin comments. FACEPALM. "Ethanol is 70% alcohol". What a dumbass. Ethanol IS the drinkable alcohol. If something has "40% alcohol" then it means "40% Ethanol". You'd have to drink large quantities of ethanol to become blind. Other alcohols however are a different story (yes, imagine that! There's more than one kind of alcohol!!). Methanol for example is highly toxic to us humans. And that's the one that can blind us or even kill us already with small quantities. DUH. And alcohol is not about having the higher or highest alcohol volume. That's just dumb. Yes, I've tried 80% Austrian Stroh-Rum and I've also had 90% Russian Vodka. Hungarian Palinka too. That stuff is great for insta-killing your brain cells. But can one really _enjoy_ such drinks?? I doubt it. Given my age I'd rather prefer a nice 40% Scottish or Irish Single Malt than any of the other stuff. Or some Cynar + orange juice mixture on a hot summer day... works too for me. Drinking 95% alcohol because somehow this gives you a ticket to the "cool kids club" ... geeee, people, grow the fuck up. Don't touch alcohol if _that_ is your level of maturity :D

[@AsbjornGrandt]

Malört is Swedish for wormwood.

[@jbwebster]

You should drink palinka from smaller portions (2-4 cl), and obviously colder than 18 °C. ...and its pretty important to drink it in one shot to the bottom. You're gonne love it, i can give my word on that..

[@HighwayMau5]

I laughted so much when you guys did rakı shot. Actually, we drink it not to party hard but to talk about old memories and to share our sorrows and glories with friends so we drink it slowly with long and fine glass (mostly we mix it with water and ice cubes and eat some white cheese or fish) and we take so much time. If our sorrow is harsh than we may drink it without water because nothing else can detriment us than this sorrow. If partying hard than drink vodka or others. Cheers from Turkey :)

[@IIYOZOII]

We have that in the U.S..

[@robhert6953]

You should probably try other Italian liqueurs such as Grappa, Sambuca, Mirto and Limoncello (my favourite). Or Mamajuana, a Dominican one.

In Argentina there is actually a drink with Fernet-Branca and Coca-Cola its call "Fernet con(with) Coca" , between 1/4 and 1/3 of Fernet, add ice up to half of the glass and then complete it with coke, remeber to pour the coke sideways and slowly so it not make too much foam. Its getting very popular at parties, u can make it a 1Lt glass or dischargeable glass and share it with your friends.

[@briangriffin5701]

Has anyone considered that, like most US liquor, these were probably meant to be mixed with other beverages. That being said I would love to see the look on a European's face after taking a shot of straight Moonshine. XD

[@hunpure13]

Just to tell you, Hungarian Pálinka is almost the same than Moonshine :)

[@briangriffin5701]

Grain alcohol is 95% pure. You could use it as a fuel alternative.

[@Matracokura]

Brian Griffin Well, the only real difference between Pálinka and Moonshine is that Pálinka is made of fruit not grain. And i doubt that people drink Moonshine at 95%VV, you probably dilute it to around 50%VV just like we do with Pálinka.

[@briangriffin5701]

Matracokura That depends. Moonshine is a general term for any kind of homemade distilled liquor. There is a brand of grain alcohol called Everclear that is 95% but yeah, it's not meant to be taken straight but mixed with other stuff.

[@Matracokura]

Brian Griffin Figured :) By the way, it would help them to know how they are supposed to drink those liquors. I mean sipping Pálinka would make even those grin who are drinking it by the liter/day, the taste is just too strong. You are supposed to smell it, then whoosh in with it. Otherwise the fruity taste will be supressed by the strong alcohol burning your tongue.

[@FrostDragonOfStorms]

You were suppose to mix Yeni Raki with water

[@chimpaflimp]

Why do they not just water it down beforehand?

[@iuffcgpuu]

chimpaflimp Cause when you use to it, you can drink it without water. But it tastes really bad, but I saw someone drink that way.

[@koraykutluol2526]

Rakı is an unsweetened, occasionally (depending on area of production) anise-flavored, alcoholic drink that is popular in Turkey, Greece, (where it is distinctly different and comes as an unflavoured distillate, unlike its Turkish counterpart), Iran, Turkic countries, and in the Balkan countries as an apéritif. It is often served with seafood or meze. It is similar to several other alcoholic beverages available around the Mediterranean and the Middle East, e.g. pastis, ouzo, sambuca, arak, Aragh Sagi and aguardiente. In Turkey and Greece, it is considered a national drink.

[@dougthebigdp314]

Aren't you supposed to mix rakia with water for it to become milky white befor drinking? The most disgusting alcohol for me was Tuzemski Rum though.

[@ctom30872]

Apparently you can have it both ways. When I visited Turkey this past year, I ordered one from the hotel bar and the bartender asked if i wanted it as a shot or with the water. I wanted to drink it like how everyone else did, so i asked for it with the water. I thought it be would a weak drink since he pour like a small shot with a lot of water, but it still had a good kick to it. Really wouldn't want to shoot that.

[@capoeiraleoa]

The czech tuzemský rum?

[@origamichik3n]

Leoa capoeira I think it was Czech. Worse than becherovka. But to be fair i don't like strong alcohols very much.

[@origamichik3n]

You guys should really make them try danish "små sure". It sour shots, that kinda tastes like candy. If you go to a party, a bar or anything with alcohol in Denmark, you will probably be drinking these. They are with different flavors like cola, peach, apple, strawberry and energy drink!

[@tuigopfiets]

You have to mix raki with water..

[@eylulstyles6255]

HAHA AYNN

[@someonegirl88]

I'm from Hungary and it's funny to see how people reacting when they taste 'pálinka', 'cause I'm sure it's weaker than the Hungarian (that's not the real pálinka what you can buy in the stores) and in my country lots of people can drink this like water :D

[@oposoum]

I didn't know that Turkey has Raki also. The most famous Raki is the Cretan Raki, which, yes, you drink it without mix it with water. In Greece we mix with water Ouzo and sometimes Tsipouro. Tsipouro in some places in Greece has the same taste like Raki.

[@hotvillain]

Eugene always looks so happy when he's drinking.

[@LalalyssaFeliciano]

Just because it's from a specific country, they shouldn't change their opinions on it. If it tastes like shit, then I want them to say that it tastes like shit. I'm Filipino (I've lived in a western country basically my whole life) and they tried some nasty shit from there. Just because it's my country, I wouldn't want them to lie and feel like they had the countries' feelings to protect or something. It's just food and the food doesn't solely define the country.

[@bamsekludden]

alyssa santos And why did you tkae this so serious? Did it sound like i was angry? No! I never said they couldn't say that it's bad, i just said that i didn't take it so serious. Sure, they may not be grown up with these kind of food. and i just said that i get kinda pissed of, not angry or anything hateful... (sorry for my english, i'm from Sweden xD)

[@bamsekludden]
