Rakı and ouzo, which anise-flavored spirit was first developed?

Rakı and ouzo are two popular anise-flavored spirits. Rakı is the national drink of Turkey, while ouzo is a traditional drink in Greece. Both drinks are similar in taste and appearance, but their origins are different. Rakı was first developed in Turkey during the 14th century, while ouzo was first produced in Greece in the 19th century.

Rakı is made by distilling grapes and aniseed together, while ouzo is made by distilling aniseed and other flavorings, such as coriander and fennel. Both drinks are typically served with water, which turns the clear liquid into a milky white color.
