Product details
Soplica Plum Vodka Liqueur is a Polish plum vodka liqueur from Soplica, made from natural ingredients to a traditional old Polish recipe and bottled at 28% ABV in a 50cl bottle. In Poland it is called Śliwkowa, and a long rest under special conditions gives it a deep, sweet bouquet of ripe fruit. Plums are central to Polish autumn cooking, from cakes to powidła plum butter, and this liqueur captures that jammy richness. Some shoppers look for it as plum vodka, but it is softer and sweeter than a clear spirit, a plum liqueur made for sipping.
Soplica Plum tasting notes
- Nose: Ripe plums, prune and a hint of cinnamon-like spice.
- Palate: Sweet and full, like plum jam, with mellow spirit beneath.
- Finish: Medium-long, plummy and gently warming.
How to drink Soplica Plum
Serve it chilled or at room temperature in a small glass; it shows more spice when it is not too cold. It pairs with roast duck, pork with prunes, pierniczki gingerbread biscuits and plum crumble. Autumn and early winter suit it best, when the evenings draw in and a fruit liqueur feels right after dinner.
Soplica Plum cocktails
- Plum Old Fashioned: 50 ml Soplica Plum stirred over ice with 2 dashes of aromatic bitters, strained over a large ice cube and garnished with orange peel.
- Cinnamon Plum Sour: 50 ml Soplica Plum, 20 ml fresh lemon juice and 10 ml cinnamon syrup, shaken with ice and strained over ice in a rocks glass.
How it compares
Soplica Mirabelle Plum, at the same 28%, uses golden mirabelles and tastes lighter and more floral. Wedel Soplica Plum in Wedel Chocolate is a creamy 15% dessert version that wraps plum in chocolate. Choose this bottle for the classic, jammy plum flavour on its own, without florals or cocoa.
Good to know

Po polsku
Soplica Plum, którą w Polsce zna się jako Śliwkowa, to owocowy likier na bazie wódki ze śliwek i spirytusu zbożowego (28%, 0,5 l). Robi się ją z naturalnych składników według tradycyjnych staropolskich receptur i długo leżakuje, co daje głęboki, słodki bukiet dojrzałych owoców. Smakuje pełno, jak powidła śliwkowe, z delikatną korzenną nutą przypominającą cynamon. Można ją podawać schłodzoną albo w temperaturze pokojowej, na przykład do pieczonej kaczki lub pierniczków.
Frequently asked questions
Is Soplica Plum the same as śliwowica?
No, Soplica Plum is a sweet plum liqueur, not a plum brandy. Śliwowica is a distilled, unsweetened plum spirit, whereas Soplica Plum (Śliwkowa) combines plums with grain spirit and is sweetened and matured for a soft, jammy taste.
Can you drink Soplica Plum warm?
Yes, Soplica Plum suits warm winter drinks, as its jammy fruit works well with spice. Add 40 ml to a mug of hot black tea or warm apple juice with a cinnamon stick and a strip of orange peel.
What food goes with Soplica Plum?
Soplica Plum goes well with rich meat and with spiced bakes. Try a small glass alongside a pork terrine, roast gammon or duck, or with a slice of plum crumble or Christmas cake.
