Product details
Lubelska Lemon is a cloudy Polish lemon liqueur from Lubelska, made with vodka and natural ingredients and bottled at 25% ABV in a 50cl bottle. It carries the old name Cytrynówka, the word Poles use for a homemade lemon infusion. The liquid is genuinely hazy and pale yellow, and the aroma recalls freshly squeezed lemons rather than lemon sweets. This Polish lemon vodka liqueur suits anyone who likes limoncello-style serves but prefers a tangier, juicier taste.
What Lubelska Lemon tastes like
- Nose: Freshly squeezed lemon, zest oil and a hint of lemon curd.
- Palate: Tangy and juicy, with a lively sour-sweet balance.
- Finish: Clean and zesty, closing on a light lemon-peel bitterness.
How to drink Lubelska Lemon
Give the bottle a gentle shake before pouring, because the natural cloudiness can settle, then serve it straight from the freezer in small glasses or over ice. Lemon cuts through oily and fried food, so it works with herring, fish and chips, potato pancakes (placki ziemniaczane) and baked cheesecake. It is an easy aperitif on a warm evening and a refreshing finish to a heavy meal.

Lubelska Lemon is sourer and lighter than Lubelska Grapefruit, which adds pomelo sweetness and grapefruit bitterness at 30%. Beside Lubelska Orange, it tastes more like fresh juice and less like candied peel. Lubelska Hemp with Lime & Mint shares the 25% strength but adds mint and a green herbal note, whereas the lemon stays pure citrus.

Po polsku
Mętna, bladożółta Lubelska Cytrynówka (Lemon) przypomina domowy nastaw na cytrynach. To likier na bazie wódki z naturalnych składników, o mocy 25%, w butelce 0,5 l. Pachnie świeżo wyciśniętą cytryną, a w smaku łączy kwaśność ze słodyczą i kończy się lekką goryczką skórki. Przed nalaniem dobrze jest delikatnie wstrząsnąć butelką, bo zmętnienie może osiadać; najlepiej smakuje prosto z zamrażarki albo z lemoniadą i miętą.
