Traditional drinks


 Traditional drinks
Moscow, and Russia in general, is well-known for its alcoholic drinks, such as vodka.  
The most ancient beverage is Medovukha, a sweet, low-alcohol drink, made with fermented-honey with the addition of various spices. A stronger honey-based beverage, stavlenniy myod, also exists in Russia and is broadly equivalent to Scandinavian mead; it is typically made with the admixture of berry juices.
