Not exactly. Nastoikas are vodkas and other similar strong spirits infused with different aromas after distillation. You could buy a vodka bottle from the store and make a nastika at home from it.
Rakia is a strong spirit which is distilled from a different base than vodka. Whereas vodka is distilled from grains, rakia is distilled from fruit. You could also do a nastoika from rakia, I suppose.
- alexey-salmin 2y agoYes, not the same, but it's very likely that "pine-needle vodka" from the article was indeed a nastoika. The rakia was only mentioned here in comments, not in the original article.
- larodi 2y agoYou can absolutely make one, and very popular is the rakia infusion with Rodiola, which is adaptogen itself.
