    Useful tip:Якщо немає бурякового квасу, можна додати замість нього таку ж кількість сухого червоного вина або 100 мл рідини з квашеної капусти або сік 1 лимона. If you haven't got beetroot kvass you may use instead the same amount of dry red wine or 100 ml liquid from saurkraut or juice 1 lemon
