You’ve probably never tasted a strong alcoholic drink made from beetroot? Our inspiration came from the popular root-vegetable, which is commonly used in the kitchens of Lithuania. Most especially it is the main ingredient in a unique type of Borsch soup, famed in the southern Lithuanian region of Dzūkija (dzoo-ki-ya). We use specially dried beetroot, using the same technique as is particular to the Amarone wine industry, where partially dried grapes are the primary ingredient. Our unique drink is permeated by shades of sweetness, earthiness, and spices – it also contains five additional ingredients to complete the medley of taste which adds definition to the beetroot.
