Best friends’ son recently married a lovely young lady whose family has Lithuanian roots. The bridal party made a large batch of Krupnikas which is a strong (95 proof) spiced cordial made with honey, water, grain alcohol and spices. The bride was kind enough to share the family’s recipe, which I put into a spreadsheet to be able to scale the ingredients based on the number of bottles of 190-proof grain alcohol I have. Basically the recipe volume will be twice the amount of grain alcohol you start with, and I like easy math. The final product is thick and sweet and spicy and delicious, and also goes well in a cup of tea.
