Before the invention of soft drinks. Ukrainian people created marvelous natural beverages. A simple fermented liquid. It came in many flavors, depending on its base: rye bread, beets, cranberries, maple syrup, and so forth. Rye kvas and beet kvas were used in soups, while fruit and berry drinks were beverages. Lemons were highly prized, so lemon kvas is an excellent example of this delicacy.
