Urrak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urrak or urak is an alcoholic beverage made every year across the Indian state of Goa in the first month of summer. It is very popular in the state's many local pubs and taverns. While feni is a double distilled alcoholic drink derived from fermentation of ripen cashew apple juice, urrak is a product of the first single distillation phase, completed in early spring.[1] Urrak may contain sediments of the cashew apple, has very low shelf life compared to the feni, and must be consumed as fresh as possible after the extraction.[2]
Urrak is obtained from the first single distillation process, containing an alcohol content of approximately 15-20%.[3][4]
Feni is a double-distilled fine product of the same juice, and contains an alcohol content of approximately 40-45%. Feni comes with a good shelf life compared to urrak. Cashew feni is now also available under renowned brands.
