Pączki Day Vodka is Back! Get Your Bottle Now
Today marks one of my favorite days of the year. Once again, Paczki Day Vodka from Detroit City Distillery is back! Here is all the information and how you can get your hands on these limited time bottles.
Let me start off by saying this, Paczki Day Vodka is awesome, for the past couple of years, I have made sure to get my hands on one of the bottles to take home. There are a few different reasons why I love it so much. First, it doesn’t get much more Detroit than some Raspberry Paczki flavored vodka. Now, if this is your first year, I recommend putting it in the freezer for a nice cold shot. I have found over the years that I like this vodka cooled off. I think that is how you get the best taste. Now, with that said, drink it however you like, you honestly cannot go in a wrong direction here.
Now, let’s get to the important stuff, what is Paczki Day Vodka and how can you get it?
This process all started a few years ago when Detroit City Distillery teamed up with our friends over at New Palace Bakery in Hamtramck. They wanted to something special and over the top for Paczki Day. After coming up with a few ideas, they settled on a Paczki flavored vodka. From what we know, they tried a couple of different flavors before settling on Raspberry. The vodka is truly special to Detroit and only available for a little time leading up to Paczki day.
HOW IT’S MADE
Paczki Day Vodka is made by distilling fresh raspberry Paczki 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 Paczki chaser.
This year, DCD kicked up a notch with a brand new Paczki flavor.
