📜 Historical Proof:

Šljivovica has been enjoyed in Serbia for centuries, with written records dating back to the 18th century, proving that this drink is truly Serbian. It has long been crafted in Serbian households, especially in rural areas, where families handcraft it from the finest plums grown in the fertile soil of Serbia. 🇷🇸🍇

🌳 Plum Varieties Used in Šljivovica:

Šljivovica is made from several high-quality plum varieties, including Pozna, Čačanska Rodna, and Stanle. These plums are known for their rich flavor, perfect for producing the smooth and robust taste of Šljivovica. 🌿🍑

📍 Why Serbia?

Serbia is one of the world’s largest producers of plums, particularly in the central regions, where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for growing this fruit. 🍃🍇 The abundance of plums in Serbia is one of the main reasons why Šljivovica was created—it was a natural way to make use of the plentiful plum harvest. This made Šljivovica not just a drink but a practical and cherished tradition.

🌍 How Did It Spread?

Over time, Šljivovica became a cherished drink across the Balkans, with its roots remaining firmly planted in Serbia. Despite its spread throughout the region, Šljivovica still holds the title of the true Serbian spirit, known for its quality and distinctive taste. 🌿🍇

I was doing a bit of research into Rakija, because I just am that kind of autist, right?

And then I learned of Slivovitz

Which is essentially Polish Rakija

Soon after, I learned that, it doesn't necessarily have to be plums that are used

So, given this knowledge, and the fact Malina means Raspberry in Polish

Is it possible to make a Raspberry Slivovits recipe that could be called "Malina sour"

I think it would a good thing to dedicate to my beloved
