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 panacea. The drink, which quickly gained popularity, received royal authorisation from Empress Catherine II in 1781, meaning that it was enjoyed not only in Russia but also for generations and still has a firm place in tradition today.
