Raksi | Local Spirit From Nepal | TasteAtlas

Raksi

Raksi is a strong spirit hailing from Nepal that is usually distilled from fermented rice or millet. It is enjoyed as an everyday drink, but it is also prepared and served during festivities and celebrations. Raksi is a clear and potent spirit that can vary in quality, while the flavors differ depending on the main ingredient.


Typically, the rice-based version tends to be mellower than barley-based raksi. This spirit is mostly home-distilled in rustic rural distilleries and is best paired with salty snacks.
