A jar of hrenovuha

Hrenovuha (Ukrainian: Хріновуха, romanized: Khrinovukha, Russian: Хреновуха, romanized: Khrenovukha) is a type of strong vodka, traditional in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. It has a bitter taste, being made from horseradish root, often with different spices, such as peppercorns or garlic. Hrenovuha can be easily prepared at home.[1]

This practice is an ancient tradition. At the beginning of the 18th century, a decree was issued that every farmstead must produce vodka.[2][3][4] The word "hrenovuha" refers to the common parlance and is not recorded in dictionaries.[5] Nevertheless, horseradish alcohol is served under this name in many restaurants.[6][7][8][9] The Moscow plant KIN1 produces this beverage.[10]
