In which small, cut-glass vessels are customers often served *rakia* as a welcoming gesture?
Answer
Cokanji
As part of the foundational Balkan hospitality ethos, customers are frequently treated to the traditional fruit brandy, rakia, either as a welcoming gesture upon arrival or as a digestif after the meal. This spirit is served in distinctive small, cut-glass vessels called cokanji. A unique element of this service is that patrons often take these branded cokanji home as souvenirs, leading the restaurant to label them to maintain brand connection.
