FAQs

How do I properly drink rakija? 

We will soon post a blog to answer your question! This blog will include a video on how to properly drink rakija. There are many ways to go about it!

Will you post personal blogs about the farmers?

If this is something customers are interested in, we will definitely take this into account. We want to let you know that our farmers are small town people who like their small lives without a lot of attention. We will ask them and see how they feel about this idea. If they are up for it, there will definitely be personal blogs in the future.

Can I make drinks with rakija or is it drank by itself?

The great thing about drinking rakija is it's versatility. You can drink it on its own, like shots, or even include a lemon or lime with it. You can also put it in a mixie drink like a Dirty Shirley. But just make sure you take account of what you are adding in. That is because if the mixie is too sweet, there is a small chance of a hangover. Make sure to make smart decisions!

What are some other uses of rakija?

Rakija is made of very clean and organic fruits which is why it can be used for many other things. The first and obvious: cooking. Throw it in some pasta sauce and it will be delicious; mix and match flavors and ingredients. Another: anti-bacterial. Your kid fell and scraped his knee? Pour some rakija on it and it will stay clean and heal quicker then ever. You could even put it in a little glass to disinfect your earrings. We will be posting a blog about this topic so stay tuned!

I love waking up early in the morning, drinking my coffee, and looking over the farm. Walking through the rows making sure everything looks the way it should be. Grabbing a plum while walking by in the crisp morning air is just perfection.

I used to take a major part in the farming, but I found a love in working the machinery. The smell of the warm sweet fruit is something I enjoy to be around. It brings back memories of making it with my father when I was a little boy. Now I get to pass on this tradition to my kids and grandkids.

My family has built very special wooden barrels to properly age the perfect rakija. I continue to build these barrels and will show my grandson to do so as well. This aged rakija will come out years to come to show the world the beauty of aged liquor.

I am usually the one that ends up planting most of the seeds every year so it is quite enjoyable to watch them grow. Seeing them grow into big beautiful trees that bear sweet fruit is a gift in itself. Seeing it turn into such a delicious rakija is even better.
