Product details
Toruńska Cranberry Vodka Liqueur is a Polish cranberry vodka from the Toruńska range, made from high-quality vodka with natural cranberry juice concentrate and fruit macerate, at 37.5% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Known as Żurawinowa, it pours a refined red. The vodka comes from a five-column rectification still, giving a clean base for the tart fruit. Sweetness is light, so the cranberry stays crisp and dry. The producer recommends it for mixed drinks but likes it even better straight, which makes it a versatile bottle for both camps.
Toruńska Cranberry tasting notes
- Nose: Tart cranberries and red berries over clean spirit.
- Palate: Crisp and tangy, only lightly sweet.
- Finish: Dry, fresh and moderately long.
How to drink Toruńska Cranberry
Serve it ice-cold and neat in a small glass, or long over ice. Its sharpness suits roast turkey, game terrine, pâté and a board of hard cheeses, much as cranberry sauce does. British households already pair cranberry with Christmas dinner, so this bottle slots naturally into a festive spread, alongside Polish pierogi or a platter of cold meats.
Toruńska Cranberry cocktails
- Toruńska Cosmopolitan: shake 40 ml Toruńska Cranberry, 15 ml orange liqueur, 15 ml fresh lime juice and 30 ml cranberry juice over ice, then strain into a chilled martini glass with an orange twist.
- Cranberry Sea Breeze: pour 40 ml of the vodka over ice in a highball and add 80 ml pink grapefruit juice and 60 ml cranberry juice.
How it compares
At 37.5%, it is higher in alcohol and drier than Toruńska Cherry and Toruńska Raspberry, both 32%. Choose the cranberry when you want sharpness rather than jammy fruit. As flavoured vodka goes, it sits closer to a dry, fruit-infused spirit than to a sweet liqueur, despite the word liqueur in its name.

Po polsku
Szlachetny czerwony kolor i rześka cierpkość żurawiny wyróżniają Toruńską Żurawinową, wódkę smakową o mocy 37,5% w butelce 0,5 l. Powstaje z naturalnego koncentratu soku żurawinowego i maceratu owocowego, a spirytus destylowany w pięciokolumnowym aparacie rektyfikacyjnym daje czyste tło dla owoców. W smaku jest wytrawna i tylko lekko słodka. Najlepiej smakuje mocno schłodzona, do pieczonego indyka lub deski serów, a sprawdza się też w koktajlu Cosmopolitan.
Frequently asked questions
Is Toruńska Cranberry a vodka or a liqueur?
Toruńska Cranberry is essentially a cranberry-flavoured vodka: the producer describes it in Polish as a wódka, and it is far less sweet than the brand’s fruit liqueurs. Natural cranberry juice concentrate and fruit macerate give the tart flavour.
What does Żurawinowa mean on Toruńska Cranberry?
Żurawina is Polish for cranberry, so Żurawinowa means “cranberry” vodka. As with the English word, the Polish name is often traced to a bird: żuraw means crane.
What cocktail can I make with Toruńska Cranberry?
Toruńska Cranberry fits naturally into a Sea Breeze: 40 ml over ice in a highball with 60 ml pink grapefruit juice and 60 ml cranberry juice, garnished with a lime wedge. The vodka’s tartness keeps the drink crisp.
