A very pleasant way to show your support for Ukraine has just arrived in London. Piana Vyshnia is part of a chain of bars that have opened across Europe showcasing one particular spirit from the country, cherry liqueur.
The drink is a popular tipple in Ukraine, with its roots dating back to the 17th century although the first bar in this group opened in Lviv as recently as 2015. Made with cherries and cognac, there are two ways to enjoy it, cold or served warm like a mulled wine. "Our team are mostly Ukrainians," they say, "who will happily share some stories and secrets about the traditional drink."
It's a small bar, with a few seats to sit and enjoy the drink alongside snacks such as chocolate, cheese balls or almonds in Parmesan cheese. You can also pop in to buy a bottle to take away with you.
