Lithuanian honey vodka, is  Krupnikas according to the web.
There's also a Krupnik (Polish Mushroom Barley Soup) which has a lot of
recipes too.




The Poles claim that  they were making vodka in the 8th century and it
dates in print back to
a 16th century herbal, so who knows if a honey flavored vodka is period
or not. The vanilla
of course could be a later addition.
