Himalayan Raksi is a traditional distilled alcoholic beverage consumed during festivals, birthdays, weddings and various other social events. Himalayan Raksi is distilled from millet, a grain that grows well in the high altitude of the Himalaya mountains.

In CNN's list of the world's 50 most delicious drinks, Raksi was ranked 41st and was described as follows: "made from millet or rice, Raksi is strong on the nose and sends a burning sensation straight down your throat that resolves itself into a surprisingly smooth, velvety sensation. Nepalese drink this home brew to celebrate festivals, though some think that the prized drink itself is the reason to celebrate."

Enjoy some Himalayan Raksi and start your own tradition!
