This week, we're diving deep on a subject that we've briefly touched on before - kvass! We are joined by the wonderful Terran Schackor to talk about this half soda, half beer, all unique drink! In addition, we talk about homebrewing, cultural traditions, and how this relates back to the vikings and homemade mead! Join us for all of this and more!


Petit Maître

½ Belvedere Vodka

1 oz. AKB6 Cognac

¾ Kvas Taras Dark Kvas

¼ Riga Black Basalm

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters


Combine all ingredients save the kvas in a mixing glass with ice, and stir until well chilled. Strain into a coupe glass, and top with the kvas. Express a lemon twist over the drink, and serve.
