Country

Slovakia

I have one sourced drink connected to Slovakia. The label on each card says how: where it began, what the country is known for, what people drink there, or where the origin is disputed.

    Tatra Chalet Hot Tea

    High Tatras

    PopularRegional drink

    Hot herbal tea fortified with a measure of spirit, drunk in the High Tatras. A published Slovak recipe stirs 40 ml of Tatratea citrus liqueur with lemon juice, a pinch of salt and warm lemon herb tea in a mug.

    A Slovak drinks guide says the Tatratea liqueur was inspired by a long-standing mountain custom of fortifying hot tea with spirits. No source fetched gives a date or a founder for the custom, so the tradition is documented only as a claim in a tertiary guide.

    Made with: hot herbal tea, spirit or Tatratea tea liqueur, lemon juice, sweetener.
