Borovička

Borovička is a special drink that comes from a country called Slovakia. It is made from a type of plant called juniper berries, which look like small blueberries but taste very different.

First, people pick the juniper berries from the plant and clean them. Then, they add the berries to a mixture of water and alcohol to make the borovička drink. It takes a little while for the drink to be ready to drink - about a month or so - so it's important to be patient!

When the borovička is ready, people drink it as a special treat. It tastes a bit like pine trees and has a strong flavor, so it's not always for everyone. Some people like to drink it straight up or mix it with other drinks to make cocktails.

But remember, borovička is a drink for grown-ups only! Kids should stick to juice or water.
