Urrak: The Taste of Goan Summer

Urrak is Goa’s iconic seasonal spirit—a light, flavourful liquor distilled from the fermented juice of the cashew apple. Available only during the hot summer months (March–May), this “jungle juice” carries 10–15% ABV, making it a gentle alternative to its stronger cousin, Feni.

What Urrak lacks in potency, it more than makes up for in freshness and character. Its sweet, fruity aroma and tangy cashew notes create a refreshing cooler that embodies Goan heritage. Crafted in small batches using age-old methods, Urrak is a true farm-to-bottle spirit.

Enjoy it neat in a traditional clay cup or mixed with lemon-lime soda, a pinch of salt, lime, and a hint of green chilli for a burst of local flavour. Urrak invites you to slow down and savor a time-honoured tradition—a genuine taste of Goa’s sun, soil, and spirit, cherished for one fleeting season but remembered all year.
