ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Rakia

Rakia is a type of drink that people like to have in some places of the world. Think of it like a special juice that is usually made from grapes, but it can also be made from plums, apricots, pears or other fruits.

First, the fruits are cut up into little pieces, then they are put into a big pot with sugar and water. A special machine called a distillery helps take the juice from the fruit and turn it into a drink. The drink that comes out of the distillery is then put into special bottles and is ready for people to drink.

Sometimes, people like to drink it just like that, but other times, people like to mix it with other drinks or drink it with a little bit of water. Rakia can be strong or not that strong, depending on how much water they put in it.

Overall, rakia is a special drink that people enjoy, like how you enjoy your favorite drink. But it is important to remember that only grown-ups can drink rakia and always drink it responsibly.
