Oghi

Often dubbed as Armenian vodka, oghi is a strong Armenian spirit that is distilled from various fruit and berries. The drink is traditionally produced as a local moonshine variety, with many households distilling their versions from various available fruit.

Mulberries, apricots, pears, cherries, grapes, or plums can all be used in the production of oghi. The fruit is distilled to produce a clear spirit whose flavor reflects in the use of base material. Oghi is usually served in small shot glasses, and it is often enjoyed for breakfast or to accompany hearty Armenian dishes.
