Trauktinė Dainava

Dainava is a Lithuanian liqueur made with a grain spirit and fruit juices (apple, rowanberry, cherry, cranberry or lingonberry, and blueberry juice). The resulting liqueur has a vibrant red color, fruity aroma, and a complex, bittersweet, subtly sour flavor.

The drink was created at the Stumbras distillery, and the production began in the1960s. The name refers to the historical Lithuanian region Dainava (Dzūkija), while the term Trauktinė refers to a traditional Lithuanian drink made with fruit and herbs.

Dainava is a drink that can be served on the rocks, but it also goes well with soft drinks or fruit juices.
