Cocktail history
Kyiv Sour is a modern cocktail that combines the elegance of classic drinks with a local flavour. It is based on Nemiroff Bold Orange vodka, which gives the drink a deep citrus aroma with light spicy notes. The drink is complemented by a unique chestnut syrup that adds sweetness and texture, and lemon fresh, which gives freshness and lightness.
The history of Sour cocktails dates back to the 17th century, when sailors first started adding citrus juice to spirits to soften their taste and prevent scurvy. By the nineteenth century, these drinks had evolved into modern cocktails that are prepared individually rather than in large punch bowls.
This particular format became popular due to its versatility and balanced combination of sour, sweet and strong. Nemiroff Kyiv Sour inherits this classic philosophy, but adds a modern national character with ingredients such as chestnut syrup, which is symbolic of the capital of Ukraine.
The cocktail has become the epitome of elegance and simplicity. Kyiv Sour with vodka is perfect for both festive occasions and quiet evenings when you want to enjoy something special.
Best pairings for this cocktail
Kyiv Sour vodka cocktail goes perfectly with dishes that emphasize its exquisite flavour profile. Try serving it with a plate of soft aged cheeses, such as Brie or Camembert, which create the perfect contrast to the citrus and spicy notes of the drink with their creamy flavour. Salmon-based snacks, such as tartare or canapés, will also be a great option, complementing the juiciness of the cocktail with their tenderness. For seafood lovers, Kyiv Sour will be a great accompaniment to shrimps in sauce or light salads with citrus notes.
When it comes to dessert, choose walnut cakes, caramel tarts or refined chocolate truffles. Delicious sweets will perfectly accentuate the spice of the cocktail, harmoniously completing the meal. Due to its versatility, Kyiv Sour, with the Nemiroff range in its composition, can become the centrepiece of a gastronomic evening, making each dish even more unforgettable.
