Rakija. It's spelt R-a-k-i-y-a.
Wide-known drink of Slavic countries, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, etc. Derived from a Turkish word.
Brandy made by distillation of fruit. The most known is Slivovitz (sliva- plum, Slavic origin), Plum brandy. See www.tastebrandy.com

Could be a Slovenian thing :) I pronounce it that way, but it could be entirely possible that it's spelled "Rakija" (wouldn't know, I'm not a big fan of the drink :)).

Could you add any contact info in your profile? :) There are not many people that know joys of rakija on this site :)

probably a Serb/Croat "ije" thing.
EDIT: OK correction, Wikipedia says it's also spelt rakia .. although I've never seen it written that way.
