World Traveler: Ksarak

Having grown up in the US of A, I understood there to be a number of standard libations all the adults partook in: Whiskey, Vodka, Tequila, etc. However as I grew, I began to question how there could only 10 or so options. In a world as big as ours, surely there had to be more?
And so began my obsessive and continuing interest in discovering all the other countries and cultures of the world has created. I have already ventured extensively into Italy with Fernet and Amaro travels, but there is so much more to see.
Case in point - I present Ksarak, a pure grape alcohol from Lebanon with a similar taste to other concoctions like Sambuca and Absinthe (strong licorice flavor)
