Paczki Vodka on the latest edition of Hey Screamin Try This! Fat Tuesday is around the corner and something unique to try is Paczki Vodka Orange Cream Flavored. How could I not be up for the challenge with my sidekick in taste testing WCSX's Donielle Flynn? So we set up our taste testing lab in the WCSX studios.

Where Does Flavored Panzcki Vodka Come From?

The Whiskey Factory is home to Detroit City Distillery, creator of whiskies, gins, and vodkas made from the finest local ingredients.

Once the home of Goebel’s Brewery and Stroh’s Ice Cream.

WOW! I LOVE PACZKI VODKA

PDV  (Paczki Day Vodka)Is Back For Another Year

Becoming a local tradition and this year it's bigger than ever! Every year our distiller Steve Orzechowski fires up the still to make you a very special treat for Fat Tuesday....Pączki Day Vodka. 

With help from Hamtramck's legendary New Palace Bakery distill them in 100% Michigan and Polish potato vodka. It's our annual Pączki Day tradition and we're working around the clock to make as much as possible. With different flavors this year. Including the one we will test on the show. Orange Cream Paczki Vodka!

Screamin Loves It So Much He Wants More!

How Did Panzcki Vodka Idea Start?

What started as an experiment six years ago making 20 bottles for friends and family has grown into a statewide sensation among Michigan's Polish community and this year nationwide!

They partnered with Seelbach's, an online distributor of craft spirits to get Pączki Day Vodka in the hands of our Polish friends and family across the country! Every year fans across the country fly in from Florida and New York just to snag a bottle or two as it sells out fast!

Big thank you's go out to Big Jim's House on WCSX. Big Jim & local celebrity and resident golf pro-Ryan Logan secured a bottle for us to test.

How About A Paczki Party?

Detroit City Distillery on February 10th starting at 10 AM for a good old fashioned Pączki Party! We'll be partying in the streets! They have Riopelle Street shutdown and we'll be partying inside and outside with Pączki Day Vodka flowing and cocktails galore. And the Pączki Day Vodka will be flowing. 

Food from Hamtown comrades, Srodek's, and tons of pączki from the legendary New Palace Bakery, local party legend Jotown hosting and performing live music!  And of course the Pączki Day Vodka will be flowing.

Hamtramck – The City of the Week 2023 Photos

Congratulations to Hamtramck, The WCSX City of the Week!

We LOVE going to Hamtramck this time of the year.  Pączki Day (Fat Tuesday) is February 21, 2023. I will tell you my secret: we go the day before so that we already have our pączkis for the morning AND we can show you what's up before it's over.  The downfall is that I eat pączkis for 24 hours straight, but, ya know... they're flipping delicious!

New Palace Bakery has been around since 1908.  Their baked goods are BEYOND amazing.  I'm not a huge traditions person, but I also don't want to think about a Pączki Day without a New Palace Bakery pączki.  I am 100% spoiled by the delicious baked goods and pączki.  Every year try their new flavor.  This year it's "Orange Cream-ski." Check out the pictures below of the box of deliciousness from New Palace along with more adventures in Hamtramck (a stop at the Rock and Roll Party store is always a MUST)!

The Pączki Elvis, Pelvis, and I went to New Palace and sampled the new flavor.  Check out our Facebook Live:

It is not easy eating a pączki without wearing a little bit here or there.  Happy Pączki Day!  Pelvis and his hair are hitting the streets and delivering boxes of New Palace Bakery paczkis to people at work on behalf of Big Jim's House!  Scroll down to see our pictures from our 2023 adventures.

After you check out the pictures below, if you want more, check out our pictures from past Hamtramck City of the Week adventures!

Note from Doni: I can't believe that Pelvis' hair did not slide completely off. No idea how he managed to keep it together.
