Okroshka with kohlrabi
Okroshka with kohlrabiRussian cuisine | Soups

Kohlrabi okroshka is a fresh take on the traditional Russian cold soup, bringing a light spiciness and delicate crunch thanks to kohlrabi. This dish harks back to ancient peasant traditions when chilled vegetable soups were the perfect relief from summer heat. Kohlrabi adds refined notes of sweetness and nutty flavor, harmoniously complementing the crunch of fresh cucumbers and radishes. Dressed with dark kvass, it gains a rich, refreshing taste with a slight tanginess, while boiled sausage makes the dish more nutritious. It's the perfect treat for a hot day that refreshes and energizes while remaining light and healthy.

Moscow Sour Cocktail
Moscow Sour CocktailEuropean cuisine | Drinks

The 'Moscow Sour' cocktail is an original drink that combines the classic whiskey sour with an unexpected note of Russian kvass. Its origins trace back to Europe but with a clear emphasis on Russian traditions. The deep flavor of Irish whiskey, combined with the sweet and sour freshness of lemon and sugar syrup, gains an unexpected twist from the addition of dark kvass. This cocktail serves as a unique bridge between the aristocratic elegance of the West and the warmth of the East. It is perfect for cozy evenings with friends, and its rich, slightly tart and refreshing taste makes it an excellent choice for lovers of original alcoholic mixes.
