Krupnik

Dubbed as the favorite drink in Poland, krupnik is based on a neutral spirit, typically vodka of fruit brandy, which is enriched with honey. The drink is commonly prepared at home, but mass-produced brands are also available on the market, and each family or a producer has a unique recipe that may incorporate a variety of herbs and spices.

Krupnik has been produced since the 16th century, and the legend of its creation is usually associated with the Benedictine monks at a monastery in Niaśviž. This honey-infused drink can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, while the lightly heated version is a favorite option during wintertime.

Apart from Poland, it is available in Belarus and Lithuania. Krupnik is also the name of a brand that produces various alcoholic beverages such as spirits, liqueurs, and krupnik.
