The Rakija Fest will be held on December 15.12-16.12 2012 at the Belexpocenter in New Belgrade.
It is an International Fair of rakija and it presents the most important producers of rakija from Serbia and abroad. Many visitors have a chance enjoy in numerous creative workshops and lectures by eminent experts in the field of production, promotion and placement of spirits and also to try the rakija, traditional delicacies and other interesting products.
Rakia, In Serbia it is the most popular alcoholic drink, is produced by distillation of fermented fruit:
slivovica, produced from plums,
kajsija, produced from apricots, or
loza, rakia made from grapes.
Fruits less commonly used are peaches, apples, pears, cherries, figs, blackberries, and quince.
Its alcohol content is normally 40% ABV, but home-produced rakia can be stronger (typically 50% to 60%). Normally, rakija is colorless, unless herbs or other ingredients are added. Some types of rakija are kept in wooden barrels for extra aroma and a golden color.
Just as culinary tastes differ throughout the world, as do beverages. Most countries share the old favorites of beer and wine, but rakija is a poison solely unique to particular regions – for good reasons.
