There is a very specific, "sacred" way to consume this local spirit involving a curious sequence of actions. We will teach you the rules, but be careful—tradition says that if you make a mistake, you have to pay a penalty!
• The Mystery of the Name: What does the word "vodka" actually mean, and what were the original, much more "fiery" names used for this spirit centuries ago?
• From Medicine to Gold: Which famous Gdansk alcohol started its life in a pharmacy as a medicine, only to become a luxury drink filled with real gold flakes?
