Product details
Soplica Exotic Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange is a Polish grapefruit vodka liqueur balanced by sweet, ripe mandarin, bottled at 21% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Called Egzotyczna Grejpfrut•Mandarynka in Poland, it is the most citrus-led flavour in the Exotic range. A light, pithy bitterness from the grapefruit keeps the sugar in check, so it works as a less sweet fruit liqueur for people who usually avoid dessert-style bottles. It shines in long drinks on warm evenings and as a bright glass before dinner.
How Soplica Exotic Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange tastes
- Nose: Pink grapefruit zest, juicy mandarin segments and fresh peel oil.
- Palate: Sweet mandarin juice up front, then a pleasant, gently bitter grapefruit pith that keeps it lively.
- Finish: Crisp and zesty, drying towards a refreshing, pithy end.
How to drink Soplica Exotic Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange
Serve it ice-cold, neat in a small glass or over ice in a rocks tumbler with a twist of grapefruit peel. The citrus edge suits salty and oily food, so try it with smoked salmon blinis, ceviche or śledzie, the marinated herring that opens many Polish meals. On a summer evening it makes a lively aperitif before a barbecue.
Soplica Exotic Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange cocktails
- Salty Mandarin: 50 ml over ice in a salt-rimmed rocks glass, topped with 100 ml fresh pink grapefruit juice.
- Citrus Tonic: 40 ml over ice in a balloon glass with 120 ml Indian tonic water and a wedge of pink grapefruit.
- Rosemary Fizz: 40 ml with 10 ml lemon juice in an ice-filled highball, topped with 100 ml soda water and a sprig of rosemary.
How it compares
Soplica Exotic Kumquat and Mango is the sweeter citrus option, as tropical mango softens the tart kumquat. Soplica Let's Party Pineapple and Orange is juicier and rounder, with no bitter edge at all. As a citrus vodka liqueur, this bottle sits at the drier end of the Soplica family, which suits anyone who reaches for tonic rather than lemonade.

Po polsku
Najbardziej cytrusowy w linii Exotic jest Soplica Exotic Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange (Egzotyczna Grejpfrut•Mandarynka), likier na bazie wódki o mocy 21% w butelce 0,5 l. Słodki sok z mandarynki równoważy tu przyjemna goryczka grejpfruta, więc całość wydaje się mniej słodka niż pozostałe smaki serii. Finisz jest rześki, z wytrawną nutą skórki. Warto podawać go bardzo zimnego w niskiej szklance albo w długich drinkach z limonką i lemoniadą grejpfrutową. Dobrze pasuje do śledzi i wędzonego łososia.
