Product details
Toruńska Gingerbread Vodka Liqueur is a Polish gingerbread vodka liqueur from the Toruńska range, recreating the flavour of honey-spice cake at 32% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Known in Poland as Toruńska Piernikowa, it relies on a carefully built blend of macerates and spices that the producer keeps secret. The result captures the richness of the gingerbread long associated with the city of Toruń. Sweet spice leads, with a gentle vodka backbone holding it together. It suits anyone who wants Christmas flavours all winter, in a standard bottle for everyday pouring.
Toruńska Gingerbread Vodka tasting notes
- Nose: Gingerbread, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Palate: Rich and spicy, with brown sugar and clove over a light spirit base.
- Finish: Warm, lingering spice.
How to serve Toruńska Gingerbread Vodka Liqueur
Serve it slightly chilled in a small glass or over a couple of ice cubes. Natural partners include pierniki, poppy-seed cake, dark chocolate and a strong black coffee. It is a good bottle to open on the first weekend of Advent and bring out again during the Christmas baking season, or to pour after a Sunday roast in January.

How it compares
Toruńska Gingerbread Liqueur is the limited stoneware-flask edition of the gingerbread theme at the same 32%, chosen mostly for gifting. Compared with Toruńska Quince at 36%, this bottle is spice-led rather than fruity, and it is sweeter than the brand's cranberry or clear vodka.
Good to know
Toruń has baked gingerbread since the Middle Ages and has a museum devoted to it, which explains the flavour's place in the Toruńska range. The Toruńska Gingerbread Vodka Liqueur 50cl bottle is the everyday choice for Christmas cocktails. Wodka Company ships Toruńska Gingerbread Vodka Liqueur across the UK from London.
Po polsku
Smak toruńskiego piernika oddaje Toruńska Piernikowa, likier na bazie wódki o mocy 32% w butelce 0,5 l. Producent opiera ją na starannie skomponowanej, tajnej mieszance maceratów i przypraw. W smaku dominują miód, cynamon, gałka muszkatołowa, goździki i brązowy cukier, a w tle pozostaje delikatna wódczana baza. Warto podać ją lekko schłodzoną lub z lodem, do pierników, makowca albo gorzkiej czekolady. Zimą dobrze smakuje wmieszana do gorącej czekolady.
