Experience Details

Treat yourself to an unforgettable tasting experience while you are in Bratislava! Alcohol plays a significant role in the culture of Slovakia. Important thing to know when it comes to drinking in Slovakia is that some locally distilled spirits may be stronger than what you are used to.


Among distinguished Slovak spirits, the most famous and favourite is Slivovitz - a plum brandy, commonly known as Palinka (52 %). Palinka could have variety of flavours, such as pear, apple, cherry, peach, apricot etc. These spirits are produced according to the old proven recipes. Their delicious taste can be described as a kind of aphrodisiac for the body and soul.


Another popular distillate is local gin Borovicka (40 %), it is made from fermented juniper berries with the addition of fine quality alcohol. The result is gentle and delicate gin. Na zdravie!
