What it is
The Grand Duchy's honey fire: krambambula — Belarus's spiced honey vodka (vodka infused with honey, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and black pepper), the drink of the old Lithuanian-Belarusian nobility, revived in Minsk as the national pour; with Belarusian vodka (the Minsk Kristall distillery tradition) behind it. Origins: krambambula's name (from German Krambambuli, a cherry liqueur of Danzig) travelled to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania's lands; the honey-spice vodka became the local icon by the 18th century. Made from: vodka, honey, spices, rested until amber. How it's made: 1) Infuse the spices in vodka. 2) Blend with honey. 3) Rest; serve warm in winter or chilled in summer. Served: at Minsk restaurants and folk festivals, with draniki feasts. Flavor: honey, spice, gentle fire. Strength: ~40%. Culture: krambambula is Belarus in a glass — forest honey, northern spice, quiet pride. See also: Lithuania's Krupnikas (its honey-spice cousin — the same Grand Duchy heritage).
