There is a cold cucumber soup that uses kvass as its base. I would recommend giving that a try as well.

Okroshka? Yeah I love that stuff. I'm vegetarian, replacing the sausage with a vegetarian one (or leaving it out) works well. I followed this recipe:

The Life of Boris also has a great video on making Kvass:

though I haven't gotten around to trying it, I've only had commercial bottled and canned ones. I imagine if you make it yourself you'll have a slightly more alcoholic outcome.
