DNA Distillery has teamed up with Baba’s Place to introduce Rakija & Tonic in a can. Distilled from fermented fruit, rakija is popular in the Balkan and Slavic regions of Eastern Europe.

DNA Distillery says rakija is a drink of joy; for celebrating with family, cheersing with friends, and sipping on in between conversations.

DNA Distillery says the new drink is a world first, and made from fermented and double-distilled Australian Shiraz grapes.

Co-founders James and Monique say they worked closely on the rakija-making process.

“DNA Distillery is the legacy of our ancestors; a tradition passed down from generation to generation, from Europe to Australia. Our Dedo’s recipe was so famous in the village that people would travel by foot for the chance to taste it,” said the co-founders.

DNA Distillery Rakija Cans are available in a 4-pack for $29.00; a 16-pack for $109.00 through the DNA Distillery website.
