A rakija that isn't drunk cold. GREANA waits to be warmed — for the evenings when it's cold outside and there's company at the table.
Company
GREANA isn't measured in years but in company: who sat down at the table, and how long they stayed.
The custom
Warmed rakija is an old Macedonian winter drink — one that every house makes a little differently.
Still and cezve
It's distilled like the other two — in a copper still, over a wood fire. But its last step doesn't happen at the distillery. It happens in your kitchen, in a cezve, over a low flame.
