“Arak” can refer to arrack in general or a spirit in Turkey and the rest of the Middle East that's also called raki. This liquor is made with anise and raisins, figs, sugar beets, molasses, or grapes. It's clear, but the anise oil in it makes it a cloudy color when you add water. People call arak Lion's Milk or The Milk of the Brave because of this phenomenon.
