Cultural Note

Making nalewki at home is a cherished Polish tradition. Fruits, herbs, or honey are macerated in vodka or spirit for months to create complex, flavourful liqueurs. Popular varieties include wiśniówka (cherry), pigwówka (quince), and orzechówka (walnut). Offering homemade nalewka to guests is a mark of hospitality.
