Arak Abou Akl

Arak Abou Akl is a traditional Lebanese anise spirit made from prized “Obeidi” grapes grown on the eastern slopes of Mount Lebanon — smooth, rich, and well-balanced.

Crafted by Abou Akl, a name long associated with quality arak, this expression draws on the indigenous Obeidi grape and a perfectly balanced anise character. It turns milky-white when mixed with water and ice — the customary serve alongside mezze — and is ideal for sharing on special occasions.
