Day 54, Cocktail 50
Round one of Polish Fest is over, with round two to come later tonight. The pierogies and stuffed cabbage rolls from Busia’s were great and a nod also goes to the potato pancakes (although they were not quite as good as my own homemade pancakes). Among tonights festivities will be the vodka tasting, which I will report on in my next post.
Several years ago, I was getting ready for Polish Fest and fooling around with my first bottle of Old Krupnik. After a few tweaks, the Stanski was born – one of my earliest original cocktails. It is still a Polish Fest favorite at the Twilight Lounge.
Stanski
- 1 oz Chopin vodka
- 1 oz Old Krupnik
- 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
- ginger ale
Fill a shaker with ice cubes and add the vodka, Krupnik and Peychaud’s. Shake to mix and then strain into a rocks glass with 4-5 ice cubes. Top with the ginger ale.
Cheers!
