Rakija

Rakija is a kind of drink that is made from fruit. First, people take the fruit and squish it really hard to get the juice out. Then, they mix the juice with something called yeast, which helps the juice turn into alcohol. After a little while, the alcohol gets really strong and the juice turns into a kind of sour-smelling liquid called rakija. Different fruits can be used to make rakija, like grapes or plums, and it is often drank in places like Serbia or Croatia with friends and family. However, it is important to remember that rakija is only for grown-ups and should be drank responsibly.
