NOT water
January 7, 2008
At a grimy souvlaki joint (weirdly named ‘ο ερυθροσ’) along Sevastopoulos Road, they make their own retsina. These weary hash-slingers “bottle it” (that is, pour it into empty plastic water bottles) before your very eyes – and the stuff will kick your ass.
This wonderful drink is bettered only by the homemade raki provided by Adonis’ 90-year-old Cretan step-grandfather. Mr. Very Old Man adds sour cherry juice to his moonshine, and bottles it in even sketchier containers than the one depicted above.

Thanks!
Homemade raki = homemade “Tchatcha” (ჭაჭა)
but retsina has no analog in Georgia:(
HOMEMADE IS BETTER!
I hope no one big global firm will steal this slogan:)
Tupperware®, 1981.
Have you tried retsina before? Maybe I can bring you some (in the indefinite future)…
Late as always:)
In the indefinite future (not in future indefinite:) we’ll drink Georgian wine!
Naturally!
i always make my own tupperware.
That’s awesome. :)
What?
I just love the whole sketchy-moonshine-cafe scenario. It appeals to me greatly. :)
Yeah, but you should see the food. Ack.
But it doesn’t take much retsina to destroy your tastebuds, so does it really matter?
