As far as Feni in Goa is concerned, the warmth of the sip and the pleasure of the lift go their ways in making you feel on top of the world after guzzling just a couple of them.
Feni in Goa is an intoxicating locally brewed clear and strong drink that are chiefly of two types- Cashew Feni and Coconut Feni.
Cashew feni is prepared out of the juice of cashew apples whereas coconut feni is made from the toddy collected by toddy tappers.
Though coconut feni has its own loyal following, cashew feni is preferred by many because of its flavor.
Preparation of Goa’s Feni is quite an interesting procedure where the cashew or coconut extract is left to ferment for a couple of days. They are then distilled to yield 'Uraq', the cruder version.
Further distillations yield Feni that contains 30 to 35% alcohol. It can be consumed fresh or left to mature in earthen jars.
To prepare Cajuchi or Cashew Feni the cashew apples are crushed and the pulp is arranged in the shape of a cake in the coimbi and tied with a string.
A huge boulder is then placed on top of it. This is followed by the trickling of the juice in a clean form that is called Neero. The final quota of juice which trickles out in a clean form is called Neero.
The best place to enjoy the Feni in Goa is the Tavernas. A log of wood and few tables and stools are what comprise the Tavernas.
The sea-facing Tavernas provide the perfect ambience to savor the sips of Feni. Goans love Goa’s Feni and though booze here is cheaper than other places in India, Feni tops them all.
Goans have taken their love of this drink to Middle East, Europe, Australia and Canada, where its demand and fans are increasing day by day.
