Pálinka

Have you ever tried Pàlinka?

I’ts a traditional fruit brandy that has been served since the middle ages, it comes in several different flavours, made with locally grown fruits like apple, apricot, cherries and plum. Sounds yummie right?

Well, the bartender was more than willing to serve us a glas of Pàlinka and when we asked if he enjoyed it the answer was no. He compared the taste of the liquor to windowcleaner. Yeah right, one might think. But yes, that man was not wrong. You know that feeling when you spray your windowcleaner and some of the spraydust gets in your mouth, that’s Pàlinka for ya. If you go to Budapest I do recomend trying though, Pàlinka not windowcleaner, just to have tried the locally produced drink.
