Product details
Soplica Lemon Vodka Liqueur is a Polish lemon vodka liqueur made with spirit and the juice of freshly squeezed lemons, bottled by Soplica at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. It follows the homemade Cytrynówka style, balancing sweetness against sharp acidity. Because it contains real lemon juice, it has the classic cloudy lemon colour and a natural sediment of lemon particles, so give the bottle a gentle turn before pouring. It is a refreshing lemon liqueur for warm days, fish suppers and anyone who prefers tangy flavours to very sweet ones.
Soplica Lemon tasting notes
- Nose: Fresh lemon juice, zest and a hint of lemon curd.
- Palate: Sweet-sour and bright, with a juicy, slightly pulpy lemon character.
- Finish: Refreshing and tangy, with a clean citrus finish.
How to drink Soplica Lemon
Serve it straight from the freezer in a small chilled glass, or long over ice with sparkling water. Its acidity pairs with smoked salmon, fish in aspic, herring in soured cream and summer salads. It also suits a summer barbecue or a name-day party, where small cold glasses go round with the zakąski.
Soplica Lemon cocktails
- Polish Lemonade: 50 ml Soplica Lemon over ice in a tall glass, topped with 150 ml sparkling water, with lemon slices and a mint sprig.
- Lemon Drop: 40 ml Soplica Lemon, 20 ml vodka and 15 ml fresh lemon juice, shaken with ice and strained into a sugar-rimmed martini glass.
- Lemon Tea Cooler: 40 ml Soplica Lemon over ice with 120 ml cold black tea and a lemon wedge.
How it compares
Soplica Lemon and Honey, at the same 28%, is rounder and softer, its tartness tempered by multifloral honey. Soplica Lemon and Mint adds mint for a cooler, more herbal profile. This bottle is the sharpest and most juice-led of the Soplica lemon flavours, and the closest to the homemade original.
Good to know
The lemon sediment is a sign of real juice, not a fault, and it settles again after pouring. Soplica Lemon 50cl is a convenient size to keep in the freezer for guests. Wodka Company delivers Soplica Lemon across the UK, sent from our London shop.
Po polsku
Soplica Lemon (Cytrynówka) to cytrynowy likier na bazie wódki w stylu domowej cytrynówki, z zawartością alkoholu 28% i w butelce 0,5 l. Powstaje ze spirytusu i soku ze świeżo wyciskanych cytryn, dlatego jest lekko mętny i ma naturalny osad z drobinek owocu, więc przed nalaniem warto delikatnie obrócić butelkę. Smak łączy słodycz z wyraźną kwasowością świeżej cytryny. Najlepiej podawać go prosto z zamrażarki w małym, schłodzonym kieliszku albo z lodem i wodą gazowaną jako polską lemoniadę.
Frequently asked questions
What is Cytrynówka?
Cytrynówka is a traditional Polish homemade lemon liqueur made from spirit, lemons and sugar, and Soplica Lemon is a commercial version of that style. Soplica uses the juice of freshly squeezed lemons, which gives Soplica Lemon its sweet-sour taste.
What is the difference between Soplica Lemon and limoncello?
Limoncello is made by steeping lemon peel in spirit, while Soplica Lemon is made with freshly squeezed lemon juice. As a result Soplica Lemon tastes juicier and more sweet-sour than zesty, and its colour is cloudy, with a natural lemon sediment.
Which is sharper, Soplica Lemon or Soplica Lemon and Honey?
Soplica Lemon (Cytrynówka) is the sharper of the two, as freshly squeezed juice gives it a bright sweet-sour bite. Soplica Lemon and Honey is made from whole lemons softened with Polish multifloral honey, so it tastes rounder and gentler.
