Rakija (Šljivovica)

About

Fruit brandy is central to Serbian hospitality — guests are traditionally welcomed with a shot before anything else. Šljivovica, distilled from plums, is the national drink, though apricot (kajsija) and quince (dunja) varieties are also popular. Homemade rakija is a point of family pride across the country.
