Classic Macedonian Alcohols/Spirits

[George S.]

There's an assortment of macedonian wines i'm sure members have a long list.

Stojacanec, There will be a new Precistitelna Stanica in Gevgelia which will be a joint project with Greece and the Swiss Government will finance the rest of it. Once that is completed im sure we can see some Splavoj on Vardar in Gevgelija. It will become a good tourist spot for our people and also the foreigners who drive towards Greece too.

Stojacanec, I didnt know that Antika Rakija comes from the Gevgelija region. I know some of the best Slatko comes from that region, especially the Smokvi.

Yes Prolet. The grapes are grown in Stojakovo, which is only a few kms from Vardar.

My tetin's brothers are the engineers behind this. They just chose the stojokovo region because that is where my tetin lives. He manages it from there. The rest are busy with their own business interests in Skopje.

Prolet Antika is made in the povardarie region next to the Vardar river. I read the box I bought for my dad for his 50th

My Tetin (and his brothers) on my fathers side makes the Antika Rakija. Grapes are grown in Stojakovo.

They also own the butcher franchise "Promise"

Kruskovac is awesome, the pear flavoured liquor, not sure where it is made though, a few shots of kruskovac and I fly Its my second favourite drink next to cointreau on ice

[QUOTE=Prolet;87954]Bushav, Antika is just another Rakija brand, to me Lozova Rakija is the best brand.

Domasna…ie home made…is the best rakia particularly a hot one in winter with a touch of honey.

Either the big deep red plums or the white magareski plums are best for slivo rakia…cant pick a favourite between the two. But just for something different try rakia from figs for a nice drop.

they make the best boza in bitola near the balto they are TURKS.Also lemonade is great.

Absolutely agree but…..

Man I love Boza, I was buying 2 litres almost every day

I don’t like boza…guess it’s a skippy thing.

AFAIK, there are around 3-5% alcohol in Boza, so it`s quite same as beer but ofc it gets fermented naturally, so no one adds alcohol in it. You cant feel the alcohol in Boza tough since you usually don't drink Boza as much as beer

The problem with beer compared to a naturally fermented product like Boza is possibly not so much to do with the alcohol content but what preservatives and additives that are used in the manufacturing process...the issue with beer and the subsequent cause of the 'hangover' is due to the addition of preservatives to the beer.

Most presevatives are sodium based, which leads to dehydration and the feelings of hangover and headaches...

zolta rakija e topla rakia so seker

[George S.]

BOza is the malt drink it's non alcaholic

[Prolet]

Bushav, Havnt you tried Boza on High Street? Boza is very famous and popular in Stari Kraj there is no alcohol its made from Brashno. Macedonia by far makes the best Boza outside of Turkey in the Balkans.

Bushav, Antika is just another Rakija brand, to me Lozova Rakija is the best brand.
