Elite Arak is on the fruitier side of the spectrum, but don’t let that fool you – at 40% ABV it can serve as a l’chaim to your guests or the perfect nightcap to a long Passover night. If you haven’t had Arak before, it smells like licorice and the taste can range from herbal to fruity. Elite Arak $19.99, Kosher for Passover – distilled spirit I would recommend pairing it with a heavy main dish or a rich dessert.
