The recipe for this iconic drink, which was developed by the pharmacist Kunze in the mid-18th century, was created when he was looking for a cure-all. The drink, which quickly gained popularity, received royal approval from Empress Catherine II in 1781, making it popular not only in Russia but also for generations to come and still has a firm place in tradition today.
