Nalewka is a traditional Polish liqueur made by infusing alcohol (usually vodka or rectified spirit) with fruits, herbs, spices, or flowers, then aging it for weeks or months to develop deep, complex flavors. Popular in Lesser Poland and Podkarpacie, it is often homemade, served in small glasses, and sipped slowly during celebrations, holiday meals, or as a digestif. Varieties range from wiśniówka (cherry) and pigwówka (quince) to orzechówka (walnut) and miętówka (mint). Historically, nalewkas were prized in noble households and used both for pleasure and medicinal purposes.
Common variations include family-specific recipes passed down through generations.
