Product details
Soplica Lemon and Honey Vodka Liqueur is a Polish lemon and honey liqueur from Soplica, made from macerates of whole lemons and softened with Polish multifloral honey, at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Its Polish name, Cytrynowa z Nutą Miodu, translates as lemon with a note of honey. Whole fruit gives the full lemon aroma, and the honey takes the edge off its tartness for a rounder body. It suits drinkers who find a straight lemon liqueur too sharp, and it comes into its own on cold, damp evenings.
Tasting Soplica Lemon and Honey
- Nose: Lemon peel, blossom honey and a waxy, floral sweetness.
- Palate: Sweet lemon with a soft, honeyed texture, more mellow than sharp.
- Finish: Medium length and honeyed, with a light zesty lift.
How to drink Soplica Lemon and Honey
Serve it chilled and neat in a small glass, or over ice with a twist of lemon. In winter, Soplica Lemon and Honey in hot tea follows a familiar Polish habit: add 30 ml to a cup of black tea with a slice of lemon. It pairs with gingerbread, miodownik (layered honey cake) and mild cheeses such as Wensleydale.
Soplica Lemon and Honey cocktails
- Hot Lemon Honey Toddy: 40 ml Soplica Lemon and Honey in a heatproof glass, topped with 150 ml hot water, a slice of lemon and a cinnamon stick.

How it compares
Soplica Lemon (Cytrynówka), made with freshly squeezed juice, is sharper and tangier and carries a natural lemon sediment. Soplica Lemon and Quince is tarter and more perfumed, with quince in place of honey. Of the three, this bottle is the softest and the best suited to warm serves, where the honey shows most clearly.
Good to know
Honey has long been part of Polish drinking tradition, from mead to spiced krupnik, and this liqueur borrows a little of that warmth. Soplica Lemon and Honey 50cl makes a cheerful winter gift. UK customers can order Soplica Lemon and Honey online and receive it by post from our London shop.
Po polsku
Soplica Lemon and Honey (Cytrynowa z Nutą Miodu) to likier na bazie wódki z maceratów z całych cytryn, o mocy 28%, w butelce 0,5 l. Dzięki całym owocom aromat cytryny jest pełny, a polski miód wielokwiatowy zaokrągla jej kwasowość. W smaku jest raczej łagodna niż ostra: słodka cytryna, miodowa miękkość i lekko kwiatowy zapach. Można ją podać schłodzoną, a w chłodne wieczory dolać do gorącej wody z plasterkiem cytryny i laską cynamonu.
Frequently asked questions
Can you drink Soplica Lemon and Honey warm?
Yes, Soplica Lemon and Honey is one of the best Soplica flavours to serve warm. Add 40 ml to a mug of hot water or black tea with a lemon slice and a cinnamon stick, but keep it off the boil, as strong heat dulls the honey aroma.
What kind of honey is in Soplica Lemon and Honey?
Soplica Lemon and Honey is made with Polish multifloral honey, meaning honey from bees that forage on many different flowers rather than a single crop. The honey softens the slight tartness of the whole-lemon base and adds a floral, waxy note.
What food goes with Soplica Lemon and Honey?
Soplica Lemon and Honey suits baked goods with lemon, honey or spice, such as lemon drizzle cake, scones with lemon curd or a Polish miodownik. On the savoury side, try a small chilled glass with mild cheeses like Edam or Caerphilly.
