Üzüm Kızı[2] - Douzico is a spirit that was created in the late Ottoman times. Efe Rakı recently bought the rights of the drink and started to re-produce the long lost spirit with it’s original recipe and techniques. The original poster was designed in Germany in the late 19th century In 2015 Efe Rakı wanted a new branding and packaging for the Üzüm Kızı. The brief was to use the original grape girl illustration but sadly the breasts and the transparency of the dress had to be covered. Retouching was done by another company.

Raki Labels | Etiket. Kadikoy, istanbul made Elif is a 'düzrakı-düzüko-dousuko' without Anise flavor. Similar to grappa[1]. Made from wine production leftover " pomace/cibril". In the Ottoman times, raki without mastica gum was called "flat raki" (düziko). Some producers, on the other hand, did not add any anise to the grape alcohol they drew from the twice distilling, and they called it Düziko.
[1] Grappa is an alcoholic beverage: a fragrant, grape-based pomace brandy of Italian origin that contains 35 to 60 percent alcohol by volume (70 to 120 US proof). Grappa is traditionally produced in Northern Italy and is also widely consumed in places such as Argentina, Bulgaria, Georgia (chacha), Uruguay, Galicia (orujo or aguardiente in Spanish) and Portugal (known as bagaço). The flavor of grappa, like that of wine, depends on the type and quality of the grapes used, as well as the specifics of the distillation process. Grappa is made by distilling the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems (i.e., the pomace) left over from winemaking after pressing the grapes. It was originally made to prevent waste by using these leftovers. A similar drink, known as acquavite d'uva, is made by distilling whole must. Grappa is now a protected name in the European Union. To be called grappa, the following criteria must be met:
Produced in Italy, or in the Italian part of Switzerland, or in San Marino
Produced from pomace Fermentation and distillation must occur on the pomace—no added water.
[2] Üzüm Kızı 'grape girl' raki has an extraordinarily beautiful label. On this label, there is a woman holding a glass in her hand, one breast exposed, on top of a bunch of grapes, each of which has a portrait of a woman. All the inscriptions on it are written in Arabic letters. After Izmir it was located in, Karaköy Fermeneciler Cad. 94 and 96. It is a raki that went down in history with the establishment of the national monopoly administration (later called Tekel). Its founder, Hüseyin Rifat Işıl[*][**], has translated Ömer Hayyam into Turkish. There is a picture of in Hayyam's Rubais with round glasses and a bow tie on the inside cover. One of his sons, Ercüment Işıl married Müzeyyen Senar and was father to Feraye.

o kadar tatlı ve hoştur ki rakım
iki zıkkımlanırım bir satarım.
bunu takdir ederek her içenin
canının üstüne canlar katarım !
halis-üd-dem bir üzüm mahsulüdür,
saf bir meydir, bunun bir şişesi
derdi eksiltir; hele hergün içen
kimsenin kalmaz gönül endişesi !
bir görüşte namımı mirim, deme :
"kim bu mahluk-ı acip, aya neci ?"
bulamayınca şairiyetten gıda
oldum işte ben de bi meyhaneci !
