Rakı Day
Two glasses, two fish — cheers to tradition.
When is Rakı Day?
Every year on November 11.
What is Rakı Day?
Rakı Day is celebrated in Türkiye on November 11, a date chosen because 11.11 looks like two tall rakı glasses standing beside each other. Rakı is an anise-flavoured spirit distilled from grapes that turns milky white when water is added, which is why it is nicknamed lion's milk. It is drunk slowly over a long table of meze and fish, with friends, conversation and often music, and the day is a reason to raise a glass to that ritual.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
