Rosinka Tarhun – “A Quality for All”
November 9, 2005

Bright green tarragon-flavored soda is difficult to pass up, but I’ve had so many varieties of “tarhun” over the years, I feel like I’m being cheated when I can find only the most popular brand, Rosinka. Rosinka is the name of a Ukrainian ‘collective’ beverage factory. They have won many medals. And trophies. They can produce 36 thousand bottles per hour!


So please to hell with them. Sadly, to get homemade tarhun, I think you have to go to the Caucuses.
So – I’ll have to wait until next summer.
Meanwhile, Rosinka tarhun is not that bad.
Kind of like a good-tasting Latin American “kola champagne” – if you can imagine such a thing.
