Raksi- a Heaven

Hey guys! Welcome to my new blog. Hope you all are doing fine. 

Today, i will be telling about a Sikkimese beverage. Unfortunately, this is only for bibulous people. Sorry my sober friends! 

The name of the beverage which I am talking about is Raksi or Rakshi, a nepali term for a traditional distilled alcoholic beverage in Sikkim. Raksi is a home made drink which is quite strong. It is made from millet or rice, both give a differ]ent flavour to it. While drinking Raksi, you will get a strong smell on the nose while giving a burning sensation down your throat that resolves itself into a surprisingly smooth sensation. 

People drink this home brew to celebrate festivals, though some think that the prized drink itself is the reason to celebrate. Raksi is an important requirement if various religious rituals and social events.

Here is the raksi that I tried for the first time. It was a great success. The results came out as expected. I liked it a lot.

If you ever get a chance to visit Sikkim, do give this amazing drink a try. You would definitely love it.
Let's call a day today. Stay tuned for more!!
