Sopi: Drinks for socializing

Sopi is a traditional beverage originating from Maluku, but some regions in eastern Indonesia, like in NTT (East Nusa Tenggara), are also familiar with this drink. The word "sopi" comes from the Dutch word "zoopje," which means liquid alcohol. Sopi is made through the fermentation and distillation of the sap of the Arenga pinnata palm.
