Just got onto this site so Czesc to everyone. I was born in Poland and have a very strong Polish upbringing so I know about all this fun stuff. Me and my dad brought some back on our last trip and he showed me a way to drink it straight up. You have to inhale before you do the shot and whistle when you're done. I know it sounds weird but it stops it from burning and won't take you're breath away :)
There are tons of places on Chigago's south side and sw burbs that sell the stuff. We combine it with carmelized sugar and boiled water. Chill it and you got a party! Diluted to about 40% of course!
Hello all. I was raised on Spirytus. I'm a part of the first U.S. born generation from Poland. My grand-uncle had the recipe and made it for every family occasion. My parents even used it to rub on our gums when we were babies while we were teething. I've never had a problem drinking it straight. My uncles thinks it's hilarious that I'm the only girl in the family that can keep up with them. =-) It is very strong. Just be careful as to not go anywhere after you've started drinking it. Gatherings at home are your best, and safest, bet.
some of you guys are making it sound like friggin petrol.. like nicO said you can drink it straight no worries. Just make sure u eat at least 2 or 3 hours before. I polished off a flask the other day within half an hour, probably about 4 shots worth. Honestly wasnt that bad, gave me a buzz (plus i had couple beers afterwards) it wasnt like i was stubbling all over the joint throw up n ****. Its not like im a big buy either, im probably 6ft 70 kilo.
Just drink it straight it'll hit u hard and fast but it wont kill you. :)
They sell it all over connecticut. And the remedy about mixing it with amber is true, my aunt has been doing this for years....only she takes 2 drops at night instead of the morning. She is about 60 and still does not have a wrinkle on her face! I will be starting this remedy too, now that I can handle Spriytus!
There is a very large Wine and Spirits store in the Chicago land area called Binny's they sell it there, as well as everclear which I know a lot of people have trouble finding in Chicago. You can go to their website and find they locations, there at at least seven Chicagoland locations so if you live around Chicago you should not have a problem finding Spirytus, I just bought a bottle today and am trying it tonight.
It's definitely not petrol, goes down just a little harder than Tequila. I disagree about it hitting fast too. The most DANGEROUS thing about Spiritus is that it takes effect hard 10-20 minutes after drinking. Don't chase it with more alcohol till after the peak effects.
I pass it around parties and you can figure out who drank it just by seeing who disappears after 30 minutes. It's not that strong, but be smart, just like any potent drug...

No normal person in Poland will drink this stuff straight up. It's made for diluting and creating Nalewka (Liquor from fruit etc.)or Miodowka. The only people you will see drinking this are the drunkards.
You can probably find it in most loquor stores near a PL neighborhood.
yes, there is a liquor store buy my house in burbank, il it is called stadium liquors. huge selection of polish imports including spirytus 192 proof strong!!!! stadium liquors(708)499-3460 5641 w 79 st they speak polish to, very nice people will order any request.
Quoting: King Sobieski WHAT ABOUT A small shot or to sip it?
it's so strong that you have to mix it
try it but it'll make you puke, it is 96% alcohol :P
I am not so sure it will make everyone puke. We were drinking vodka with friends back in Poland, and we poured a shot of this "Spirytus Ratyfikowany" to one of the shot glasses just for fun. The guy who took that shot could not catch his breath initially, but after a few seconds he was fine. He didn't puke either - so if you choose to do it, don't be stupid about it and don't drink more than a shot (50 ml) at once.
There's a store in Willowbrook that sells it off of Rt. 83/Kingery. C&B Liquors I think the place is called. I never realized that a lot of people had a hard time finding it ^_^
You can drink it straight, it just takes some practice and burns like a mo'fo. My little brother likes drinking it mixed with a huge jug of vault bought from a local gas station. He usually runs off into the trees somewhere to start fighting the zombies who are taking over people. Yup, its good stuff ^_^
In the USA its availability varies from state to state. Eg, in Illinois it is sold at your average off-licence, but in Michigan across the lake it is illegal.
I dont know where you live, but I'm in Michigan, Detroit burbs, and we can get it but its always on back order at the local stores. but I found a place in NJ that you can buy online.
and its the "good stuff" 192 proof,, just remember this must be mixed 50/50 with syrup simply 1 bottle can make 2
In canada you can buy this stuff in a liquor store ONLY with a doctor's perscription. It's great as a rub for back pains and sore muscles.I am told that it works.Also dilute it 50% to make a pleasant drink and add some syrop to give it some flavour.
