Liquor stores in Astoria and Sunnyside will stock it. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it at Grand Liquors on 30th St in Astoria. Also, the big liquor store on Broadway in Manhattan near NYU has a number of rakis, dunno if... (4 replies, last updated by araess October 15, 2006)

It seems like most of the Mediterranean countries have an anise liqueur and really any of them would work fine in this recipe. Sambuca, Anis, Ricard, Ouzo, Raki, etc. I’m not sure which is the least expensive. I’d... (5 replies, last updated by nja September 20, 2005)

I’m a fan of Greek ouzo, Italian sambuca and Turkish raki. I live in a part of LA where Armenian goods are easily available and was wondering if — bearing its similar geography in mind — Armenia has its own... (2 replies, last updated by JMF October 22, 2007)
