Al Naba’a Craft Cocktail Arak & Grapefruit (700ml)

Product Description

Al Naba’a Craft Cocktail Arak & Grapefruit 700ml is a bright, bittersweet ready-to-serve cocktail that reimagines traditional Nazarene arak through a modern, citrus-forward lens. Curated by blackbook for its balance and approachability, this expression blends authentic grape-based arak with fresh grapefruit character to create a refreshing, food-friendly pour with depth and lift.

The natural anise notes of arak are beautifully complemented by grapefruit’s tart acidity and gentle bitterness, resulting in a cocktail that’s crisp, aromatic, and clean on the palate. It’s lighter and more bittersweet than the lemon variant, offering a sophisticated alternative that’s ideal for aperitif moments and warm-weather sipping.

At blackbook, we look for craft cocktails that honor heritage while delivering modern convenience. Al Naba’a Arak & Grapefruit does exactly that—rooted in tradition, refined in execution, and ready when you are.
