A spellingbee word:
Raki
The best way to enjoy raki (the Turkish national drink, also known as "Lion's Milk"), is with thin, cylindrical glasses and cold (about 8-10 degrees Celsius). One can drink it straight or with water, soda, or mineral water.

Spelled in Turkish with a dotless 'i': rakı. Called ouzo in Greek. It's fun to watch it turn milky white when you pour the water in, but I enjoy better neat.
