Product details
Krupnik Lemon is a Polish lemon vodka liqueur, made by infusing Krupnik vodka with lemons for a refreshing, sweet-sharp drink at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Sold in Poland as Cytrynowy, it delivers in one bottle what bartenders usually build from vodka, lemon and sugar. There is enough sweetness to sip it on its own and enough acidity to keep it crisp. It suits anyone who likes limoncello or a cold lemon vodka in summer, and it brightens a fish supper or a garden lunch.
Krupnik Lemon tasting notes
- Nose: Lemon zest, lemon curd and a light floral note.
- Palate: Bright and juicy, with sweet lemon, a little pith and clean vodka underneath.
- Finish: Crisp and gently tart.
How to serve Krupnik Lemon
Serve it ice-cold, straight from the freezer, in small chilled glasses, or over ice with a lemon wheel. It complements smoked salmon, herring in oil and a sharp lemon tart, and it makes a lively partner for a plate of Polish zakąski on a summer evening. A frosted bottle on the table works well at a garden party or a long lunch outdoors.
What to mix with Krupnik Lemon
- Krupnik Lemon Drop: rim a martini glass with caster sugar, then shake 50 ml Krupnik Lemon, 15 ml lemon juice and 10 ml sugar syrup with ice and strain it in.
- Lemon and Elderflower Spritz: build 40 ml over ice in a wine glass with 10 ml elderflower cordial and top with 100 ml soda water.
How it compares
It shares its 30% strength with Krupnik Quince but swaps the soft, perfumed orchard fruit of quince for sharper citrus. Krupnik Chocolate with Orange is a different take on citrus entirely: creamy, chocolate-led and 16%. Krupnik Pineapple, at 21%, is the tropical alternative for long summer drinks.

Po polsku
Krupnik Cytrynowy (Lemon) powstaje przez nastawienie wódki Krupnik na cytrynach, co daje orzeźwiający, słodko-kwaśny likier o mocy 30% w butelce 0,5 l. To w jednej butelce coś, co barmani zwykle przygotowują z wódki i skórki cytryny. W smaku jest jasny i soczysty: słodka cytryna, odrobina goryczki z białej skórki i czysta wódka w tle, a finisz pozostaje rześki. Podawać mocno schłodzony, prosto z zamrażarki, lub z lodem i plasterkiem cytryny, na przykład do wędzonego łososia, śledzia w oleju czy tarty cytrynowej.
Frequently asked questions
What does Krupnik Lemon taste like?
Krupnik Lemon tastes of lemon zest and lemon curd, sweet enough to sip yet crisp and gently tart on the finish. A little pith and clean vodka underneath keep Krupnik Lemon from tasting like lemonade.
Can you make a Lemon Drop with Krupnik Lemon?
Yes, Krupnik Lemon makes a quick Lemon Drop because the liqueur already brings both lemon and sweetness. Shake it with a little fresh lemon juice and only a dash of sugar syrup, then serve in a martini glass with a sugared rim.
Is Krupnik Lemon the same as limoncello?
No, Krupnik Lemon is a Polish liqueur made by infusing Krupnik vodka with lemons, while limoncello is an Italian liqueur made by steeping lemon zest in spirit and sweetening it. Both are served ice-cold, so Krupnik Lemon can be used in the same way.
