In Ukrainian lands during theCossack timesvyshnivka was traditionally produced by soaking fruit (cherries) in horilka for at least two months. The resulting drink attained the taste and aroma of the fruit. Cherrynalyvka was the most popular variety of this type. It would be frequently used as a present byCossack starshyna and was exported to theRussian Empire andCrimean Khanate.[2]
