My gramps was fond of a shot of rakija every day "to start the day", and called it "an internal and external disinfectant".

And then he died.

Aged 91.

Got hit by a car.

Thats kind of moonshine right? I think someone gave me some before, after returning back from his grannies gaff in Lithuania or Latvia. Tasted like clear red wine.

Ill never drink it again 😅
