The Hungarian fiery water: all the myths about the PÁLINKA!

Palinka is one of the world’s unique treasures. This traditional fruit brandy is usually made with plums, apricots, cherries and typically served at room temperature as the joy of drinking for its fragrance and flavour. Making pálinka is considered an art in Hungary, drunk out of a small, tulip-shaped glass and can be taken before or after a meal as a digestiv.  In 2002 it was recognised by the EU as a Hungaricum – an alcoholic drink, distilled from fruits, with an alcohol content of a minimum 37.5%.

Enjoy the particular Pálinka Experience at the Pálinka Museum!
