Disclaimer: This video is made with the best interests at heart and to protect the identity and the tradition of Urrak in Goa. We accept all other points of view when it comes to Urrak and its origin stories. No offense intended.
----------------------------
Urrak is Goa’s favourite summer drink, which is only available for 3 months from March to May. Urrak is an alcoholic drink that is distilled from raw cashew juice called 'ROSS' in Konkani. URRAK is obtained with its fellow drinks such as NIRO and FENI.
The process of Urrak extraction is a unique Goan tradition that has been followed by various generations of a family.
Some of the best Urrak cocktails you will find in iconic Goan bars such as Joseph bar, Miski, Petisco, Oh lala, Romeo Lane, Thalasa, sinq, titos, etc.
This video is a combination of the information I collected personally regarding Urrak and the clips which I and my team shot across Goa.

[@navelimforgoa7107]

Babush, its not a story. Its factual history. Story is Mythology.

[@pratikj415]

Hi,
The phrase "the story goes like this" refers to a narrative that I am about to tell, as can be seen in the video. Totally agree that 'Story' is mythology, but story is also used to describe events that happened based on timeline with respect to people, places and things.
Thanks for getting in touch. Hope you liked the video.
