Pączki Day Vodka Party – February 10

On Saturday, February 10, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., DCD will once again host their annual Pączki Day Party at their Tasting Room at 2462 Riopelle Street in Eastern Market, indoors and outdoors, with limited capacity and free admission. The outdoor patio area encompasses an entire city block. Food, including Polish favorites, will be available for sale, along with PDV cocktails and DCD’s regular menu of spirits.

How Pączki Day Vodka is Made

Pączki Day Vodka is made by distilling fresh raspberry pączki in 100 percent potato vodka from Poland and Michigan in a 500-gallon copper pot still. The result is a crystal-clear one-of-a-kind spirit that is smooth, buttery and has a distinct raspberry finish. It can be enjoyed chilled over ice, mixed in a cocktail or as a pączki chaser.

There are no artificial ingredients, flavors or sweeteners commonly used in mainstream flavored vodka. DCD’s goal is to make a true craft spirit that highlights the taste of these perfectly handmade, glazed raspberry pączki from Hamtramck’s New Palace Bakery.

Detroit City Distillery is renowned for their award-winning small batch artisanal bourbon, whiskey, rye, gin, and vodka, crafted using the finest local ingredients sourced from farms near the distillery. The distillery achieved global acclaim at the 2023 World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, where its Butcher’s Cut Bourbon and Homegrown Rye whiskies each won a Double-Gold Medal, the event’s highest honor. This achievement underscores DCD’s commitment to excellence, with Butcher’s Cut Bourbon receiving its second Double Gold and Homegrown Rye its third, having previously won in 2020 and 2022. Additionally, DCD’s Four Grain Bourbon was awarded Gold for the second time.
