Cedar Wood

The Mountain Base: Pour 50ml of premium Arak (or Raki) into a clean Collins glass. Pack tightly with high-quality crushed ice.

The Golden Transformation (The Cloud): Slowly and steadily pour 100ml of Seven Dates Original over the ice. Watch the crystal-clear spirit transform into a rich, warm, milky-dorato (amber-gold) cloud the exact hue of aged cedar wood.

The Cold Fusion: Gently stir with a long bar spoon for 5 seconds to ensure the flavors are perfectly fused and the drink is uniformly frosty.

The Snowy Garnish: Finish with a fresh, aromatic mint sprig. Top with a single premium date skewered on a cocktail pick, and a piece of rugged cedar wood bark/fruit (if available), resting on the rim. Lightly and generously dust the entire garnish (mint, date, and wood) with fine icing sugar to mimic fresh snow settling on a branch. Serve immediately with a traditional Lebanese meze spread.
