Description

Arrack liquor is a traditional distilled spirit originating from South and Southeast Asia, particularly popular in countries such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This liquor is made from the fermentation and distillation of palm flower sap (from coconut or nipa palms) or rice, which gives it a unique and characteristic flavor, with sweet notes and a woody touch.

In cooking, arrack liquor is valued for its ability to add depth and complexity to desserts, cocktails, and marinated dishes, providing an aromatic profile that may resemble rum, but with its own distinctive nuances.

Its notable properties include its high alcohol content, which ranges from approximately 33% to 50%, and its natural composition, as it is traditionally produced without artificial additives. Additionally, arrack is a source of moisture in recipes and can help preserve ingredients when used in marinades.

In the Spanish-speaking world, arrack liquor is generally known by the same name, although in some regions it may be referred to simply as arrack or, less frequently, as arac, but there are no widely established synonyms.
