Detroit City Distillery creates small batch artisanal whiskey, gin and vodka using the finest local ingredients sourced directly from farms near their distillery and tasting room located in Detroit's famed Eastern Market, but around this time of the year they are known best for one thing: this unique flavored vodka.
Pączki Day, or Fat Tuesday, is a Polish tradition where people feast on pączki (delicious filled pastries), and Detroit City has gained quite a following from their once-a-year release of Pączki Day Vodka - a popular spirit infused with these beloved and locally made pączki pastries.
What started as an experiment making 20 bottles for family and friends, has become a must-have sensation within the Polish community in Michigan and across the nation, routinely selling out in minutes.
What makes the vodka unique is that it’s distilled with actual raspberry-filled and glazed pączki sourced from the popular New Palace Bakery in Hamtramck. The unique combination is made with 100% potato vodka from Poland and Michigan in a 500-gallon copper still.
Whatever you think you know about vodka, prepare to have that challenged.
