I followed this recipe exactly as stated - and it is amazing! It was pretty potent when it first went into the bottles, but after just 3 months, it mellowed into an incredible, smooth, sweet and spicy sipping drink. Every time I give someone a sample, they ask for more!

couldn't get our hands on fresh turmeric root, so used 1,5 tsp dried instead as per a previous review. this made it a little bit difficult to strain, but patience paid off, and we've finally sampled it after having it stand for about 2 months. fantastic. we've had some at room temperature and we're totally blown away. interested to know what it's like when heated, but not expecting a bad result. :)

Every year my wife and I make holiday gift to give to family and friends. This year we chose to make Krupnikas. Boy, oh boy! Absolutely wonderful! Everyone's asked me for the recipe. My sister-in-law finished her bottle off in less then a week! Have a second batch aging as we speak.

I just got the krupnikas in bottles and it really smells delicious. I couldn't find whole yellow ginger (turmeric) so I used 1.5 tsp of powdered. Grain alcohol is illegal where I live so I used 1.5 quarts of vodka. This yielded almost 2 quarts of krupnikas with the water and honey. Even after settling overnight it has a luscious taste, but it is quite cloudy. I plan to let it sit 3 weeks and have a little on Christmas and then keep the rest for at least a year to mellow.

So... haven't had a chance to try the recipe yet but, very excited about finding it!! Just as an FYI.... makes a fantastic addition to Christmas Eggnog... not the traditional Lithuanian use but, really yummy nonetheless!!!

Krupnikas is heaven in a glass! It appeals to everyone I've ever given it to, makes great coffee sweetener (if you're staying home :D), and is just generally awesome. Thanks for sharing your family version!

Takes awhile to make, but well worth the wait! After the 2 week wait you will not be disappointed! I now make it every winter.

I haven't made this recipe yet, but I was so excited to see something that I have only had as a child and no longer had a recipe for. I remember my mom saying it definately would cure anything.
