Varekai is an unusual cocktail with deep roots in author cuisine, where traditional flavors merge with an innovative approach. The base is bread kvass, evaporated to enhance its tart, slightly sweet character. Vodka adds strength to the drink, while cream provides softness and velvetiness, creating a pleasant contrast. The finishing touch is caraway seeds that add subtle spiciness and mysterious depth of flavor. Served in a chilled glass, this cocktail is perfect for leisurely evenings when one wants to enjoy a unique play of flavors. Varekai is a harmony of tradition and modernity, a drink that impresses with its balance and sophistication.
