Tarkhuna is a refreshing Georgian drink known for its bright green color and unique taste. It is made from fresh tarragon leaves, which give it a subtle anise aroma and a slight bitterness. The history of tarkhuna dates back to the early 20th century when Georgian pharmacist Mitrophan Lagidze first created this drink. It quickly became popular due to its refreshing properties and original flavor. Tarkhuna perfectly quenches thirst on hot days and is often served chilled with ice. In cooking, it can be used as a base for cocktails or added to desserts. This drink is a symbol of Georgian hospitality and traditions, filling summer evenings with aromas of freshness and lightness.
