The national drink of Macedonia is the "Žolta Rakija" (phonetically "? Olta rakia", abbreviated Žolta), translates "Golden schnapps", a distillate based on the grape, which derives its name from the dark golden yellow color, It is typically served as an aperitif drunk, and always in connection with a starter (mostly salads). For the noble brandy "Negotinska" from Kabranov, the grapes of local grape varieties (such as Smederevka and Vranec) are fermented for later distillation. This extract of whole grapes is once distilled in the copper kettle in the old way and stored in oak barrels for more than a year. Distilled as a grape brandy from solid and liquid components of the grape, this Žolta is more elegant and fruity than, for example, a grappa or a brandy.
