What is your favorite Polish Vodka?

i think you're all drunk

concerning drinking spyrytus, i'm surprised to not to see the recipe that my babcia showed me. In a 1 gallon jar, fill it 3/4's full of puitted cherries. fill the jar with about 40 ounces of spyrytus and leave it alone (out of the sun)on your countertop for about a month. After a month, pour off the cherry flavoured spyrytus. Chill if you want but it goes down sooooo fine and smoooothe. The cherries, although not the greatest tasting, can be eaten or blended with ice cream. Makes a very nice smoothie as well if you can't have ice cream or yogurt. Hope this helps you guys who hate the taste and effects od spyrytus. In Canada it's not available but a 96% alchool is. Not as clean as spyrytus but still not bad in a pinch.

But these need to be Wisznia, a sour cherry (Wisznowka). Normal cherries don't taste as good made this way. Also can be made with raspberries (Malinowka). After you let sit for 3-4 weeks, you have to pour out the liquid (using cheese cloth) and add 5-6 cups of sugar to the fruit. Let sit for another 3 weeks in warmth/sun and again drain out liquid and add sweet syrup to 1st batch of liquid removed. Let sit until it settles and then remove cleared liquid off of the top.

The best Vodka is Luksusowa Potato Vodka!

No, Belvedere is.

I would also say Belvedere or Chopin.
I think that Zubrowka sucks ass, but it is possible that I drank the "fake" Zubrowka, since the real one is outlawed in the USA because of the poisonous Bison Grass.


Aren't all top shelf vodkas made strictly out of wheat nowadays?
I did try Luxusowa, it was good but it had an aftertaste.

Chopin is my personal favorite. I prefer the smoothness of a potato vodka compared to a grain vodka like Belvedere. Don't get me wrong, if there's Belvedere around, I'm going to drink it, but I prefer Chopin above all else. It's so difficult to find Polish vodka in the States, anyway, I take what I can get.

I have to taste potato vodka and grain vodka side-by-side one day, and see the difference for myself. It would be an interesting experiment.
And yeah, EbonyandBathory is right; it’s difficult to find Polish Vodka in the U.S. All you can get here is Absolute (Sweden), Grey Goose (France), Stoli (Russia).

All depends on where in the US you live. I can get Zoladkowa Gorzka, Ultimat (exp only), Pravda (exp only), Luksosowa, Zytnia..etc.

Bison grass IS NOT poisonous. I'd be dead long ago if it was.


No. There are lots of potato vodkas, and the French just forced through a rule in the EU that says you can even make it out of your grandfather's dirty socks, just as long as you put some note about it on the label. Apparently they want to sell fruit distillates as vodka, but if you ask me they're trying to find ways to utilize overripe brie.

Polish vodkas are made either out of potatoes or rye - I don't think there are any wheat vodkas around.

There are a few grain Polish vodka. Revolution used to be one of my favourite haunts in Nottingham. Skyy was a bit of a favourite

Which is your favorite Polish Vodka, How do you drink it?

My Favorite is Belvedere and if I'm on the cheap it's Luksusowa and how do you serve or prefer to drink it?

ice cold :)

My favourite is Belvedere. What a gorgeous bottle too.

I've said it b4, Pan Tadeusz is quality stuff

- Haven't tried this one yet. My all time favourite is malt scotch (with a smoke necessarily), which I consider the greatest liquor ever invented by man.

Have u tried Laphroiag?

I like Pan Tadeusz. i picked up a bottle during my first trip as well as a bottle of 25 yr Wódka Kasztelańska.


Yes, sometimes I enjoy Glenmorangie 18 with a nice CAO XO :)

- Nope. Is it good? Oh, and I also love Irish whiskey, especially Paddy. To correct my previous statement I shoud say malt scotch and Irish whiskey are the greatest liquors ever invented by man. I know what I'm saying, because I've tried hundreds of liquors and still do.

:)

The very best vodka was my late father-in-laws homemade potato vodka - wow was it ever smooth!

- Oh yes, they can make their own liquor masterly, don't they? I also like Russian vodka - the real Russian vodka, not pseudo-Russian stuff such as Smirnoff, but the real stuff, e.g. Stolichnaya. It's brilliant.

Oh yes, it was my initiation to vodka. Unfortunately I never got the chance to see how he made it and both my in-laws have passed away so unfortunately their recipe went with them.

Chopin. MMM Dobrze

Zubrówka (the real stuff) and apple juice is a great drink - very popular here in London. And Wyborowa for shots!

Ohhh, mixing good vodka is a mortal sin! Straight and cold. Save the mixing for Jacquins or Smirnoff

Mixing Żubrówka is an exception ;) I don't like flavored vodka and to me, this is.

For flavored, I use spirytus and fruit to make nalewka or make Miódówka.

agreed, ice cold and straight is best! :)

Sounds like my ex wife.....
