Hrinivka is perhaps the most traditional Ukrainian spirit. No one can say for sure when Ukrainians first came up with the idea of mixing horseradish into alcohol. Its history spans at least several hundred years. In Ukraine, it is customary to drink horseradish vodka at large celebrations and to pair it with dishes from classic Ukrainian cuisine, which are mostly fatty and spicy. Thanks to its zesty flavor, it stimulates the appetite and helps the body cope with the large amount of food without which no Ukrainian holiday can be complete.
This horseradish vodka was the first spirit that Anton Petrov produced in his Ukrainian distillery, which he had to leave with his family after the Russian attack. Hrinivka is a tribute to a lost homeland. "Nothing goes better with Ukrainian dishes. However, be warned, one glass of cold Hrinivka is certainly not enough," says Anton.

Production
For horseradish schnapps, Ukrainians predominantly use ordinary vodka or sugar distillate (which is produced mainly in rural areas and is cheaper than vodka). Freimeisterkollektiv prefers that nothing stands in the way of the horseradish flavor, and therefore uses their Sangaste vodka as a base. Anton peels off the rough skin of the horseradish roots, which would give the drink an earthy taste, and then shreds the horseradish so that the alcohol can extract as much flavor and aroma from it as possible. Then we add a little honey to round off the taste and let it steep for at least two weeks.
