It is one of our favorite times here in Big Jim's House, Detroit City Distillery is bringing back Paczki Vodka!

 Get ready, pączki and vodka-lovers – Pączki Day Vodka is back and expected to sell out faster than ever. This year's batch of the ultra-unique, limited-edition alcoholic spirit, made with fresh raspberry pączki from Hamtramck's New Palace Bakery, will go on sale on Friday, February 3 at 8 a.m. online at detroitcitydistillery.com/shop. Bottles are $35 each. A public party will celebrate the release at the Tasting Room at 2462 Riopelle Street in Detroit's Eastern Market, beginning at 4 p.m., where buyers can start picking up their online orders in-person. This year, a limited quantity of Pączki Day Vodka will also be available for direct-to-consumer shipping via DCD's partners in select states nationwide.

What started as an experiment five years ago has become a must-have sensation among those with Polish family ties. Last year, the Distillery sold out in under 72 hours. Due to requests already pouring in, DCD anticipates yet another fast sellout in 2023.

Pączki Day Vodka is made by distilling fresh raspberry pączki in 100 percent potato vodka from Poland and Michigan in a 500-gallon copper pot still. The result is a crystal-clear one-of-a-kind, spirit that is smooth, buttery and has a distinct raspberry finish. It can be enjoyed chilled over ice, mixed in a cocktail or as a pączki chaser.

MORE INFORMATION:

“There are only two ingredients: vodka and pączki. There are no artificial ingredients, flavors or sweeteners that you find in mainstream flavored vodka. The goal is to make a true craft spirit that highlights the taste of these perfectly handmade, glazed raspberry pączki from Hamtramck. It’s like a Pączki Day Party in a bottle.” added Forsyth. “At 88 proof, it’s ultra-smooth, and you can really taste the raspberry and buttery pastry of the pączki.”

Pączki Day Vodka goes on sale online at detroitcitydistillery.com/shop at 8 a.m., Friday, February 3. Patrons can begin picking up their orders the same day at 4 p.m. at the Detroit City Distillery's Tasting Room at the Pączki Day Vodka release party. Pączki Day Vodka will also be available at select liquor stores throughout Michigan and Illinois in February while supplies last. Limited quantities are also available for out-of-state shipping via direct-to-consumer shipping partnerships.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
