In Soviet times, I was not fond of alcohol - I was still small. Although the labels collected - at the point of reception, glass containers constantly mixed with friends. But here, it turns out there were some varieties of alcohol, about which I did not even hear. Yes, I think not only I
Here for example - Soviet whiskey. Have you heard of this?
This drink was produced, as it should be - from rye and malt, and it was stronger than usual vodka - 45 revolutions
And here's another outlandish drink - the Soviet rum. Cuban and Jamaican heard, but about the Soviet
He, too, was 45 degrees, and was made from sugar cane (and according to rumors even with the addition of prune fruit juice)
Another strange drink - tincture "Excellent" (different from what?)
It was already a 40-degree drink with a strong cumin flavor
Let's move on to the sweetie. Have you ever heard of alcoholic creams (or creams)? But there were a lot of them (if you believe the catalog)
Raspberry, black currant, cherry, mountain ash, chocolate, dogwood. These were fragrant dessert drinks, made from alcohol-berry juice with a strength of 20-23%
And it was not tinctures and liquors, they were presented separately
Well, liqueurs. If I've heard about Chartreux, then Benedektin never met
The liqueur is yellow-green. The composition includes the angelica root, cardamom, muscat color, cinnamon with the addition of cognac, honey and sugar. Liqueur has a sweet burning-bitter taste and a rounded flavor. The fortress is 43%. Probably delicious
And here is another pair of liqueurs - Transparent and Crystal
Transparent is prepared on essential oils of cumin, coriander and lemon, and the crystal on the aromatic alcohol from the seeds is again cumin, coriander and orange peel. The first - 40%, the second 45%
And two more liqueurs.
New Year's, cooked on apricot spirits juice, cinnamon infusions, peelings of bigara (what is it ?!) and lemon
And the Jubilee, prepared on aromatic spirits of lemon and orange crusts, coriander and anise seeds
Can you remember any other unusual drinks?
