Product details
Krupnik Bitter with Mint is a Polish mint herbal liqueur from Krupnik in which cool mint lifts a bittersweet base of herbs, bottled at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Made with natural macerates in the spirit of Polish homemade infusions, the Gorzka z Miętą liqueur tastes fresher and lighter than most herbal bitters. Mint leads from the first sip, so it drinks more like a mint liqueur with a bitter edge than a dark, spicy bitter. It suits anyone who likes a cold, refreshing glass after dinner, and it fits warm evenings in the garden as well as the end of a winter meal.
How Krupnik Bitter with Mint tastes
- Nose: Fresh peppermint leaf, green herbs and a touch of liquorice.
- Palate: Cool mint over a gentle herbal bitterness, rounded off with soft sweetness.
- Finish: Clean and refreshing, with a lightly bitter, minty tail.
How to drink Krupnik Bitter with Mint
Pour 40 ml well chilled into a small glass after the meal, or serve it over ice with a sprig of fresh mint. It pairs with roast pork, duck and dark chocolate thins, and the mint also cuts through a plate of fried pierogi with onions. Keep it in the fridge in summer so it is ready for a cold glass on the terrace.

Po polsku
Krupnik Gorzka z Miętą (Bitter with Mint) łączy chłodną miętę z klasyczną, słodko-gorzką bazą ziołową. Ten likier na bazie wódki ma 30% alkoholu, butelka mieści 0,5 l, a przygotowuje się go z naturalnych maceratów, nawiązując do tradycji domowych nalewek. Jest świeższy i lżejszy od większości ziołowych likierów gorzkich: mięta pieprzowa prowadzi od pierwszego łyku, a za nią idzie delikatna goryczka z nutą lukrecji. Warto podać go mocno schłodzonego po obiedzie albo z lodem i gałązką świeżej mięty, na przykład do pieczonej wieprzowiny lub bigosu.
