Happy Paczki Day 2023! Detroit City Distillery has made something beautiful here in their Paczki Day Vodka using Hamtramck's New Palace Bakery's raspberry Paczki! Both my paternal grandparents grew up in Hamtramck after their parents immigrated there from Poland. This area and this culture is something I love. Now, even way up in the UP, I'm able to feel a little closer to it. So bust out the Paczki and mix up my Paczki Day '23 cocktail! Na Zdrowie!

Combine all in a mixing glass with ice and stir until cold. Strain over fresh ice and enjoy. Best consumed with your favorite Paczki flavors like plum and wild rose.

Editor's Note

A spirit-forward tribute to Detroit's Polish heritage. Unique paczki-flavored vodka meets cherry and bitter orange for a cocktail that drinks like a boozy, liquid pastry.
