What does RAKEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A variant spelling of raki, a strong, anise-flavored spirit traditionally distilled and drunk in Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans.
Rakee is typically distilled from grapes or other fruit and then flavored with aniseed, giving it a distinctive licorice taste and a milky color when mixed with water. Across the region, rakee is closely tied to shared meals, often served alongside small dishes known as meze, and drinking it is treated as a slow, social occasion rather than a quick shot. The spelling rakee is less common today than raki, but both refer to essentially the same traditional drink.
