drinks
“Pălinca” (or Țuica) is the most popular Romanian traditional drink. It is a spirit made of plums and it has an alcohol percentage of 50-60
degrees. Romanians
usually make it at
home and they
rarely buy it
from
supermarkets.
Romanians also love to drink. Although beer is a very popular drink in Romania, we have traditional drinks too.
Actually, just like pălinca, Romanians make brandies out of almost any fruit. The one made of sour-cherries (vișinată) is very much appreciated by women, because it has a sweet flavour.
It is very common for Romanian adults of all ages to drink a shot of pălinca or brandy before lunch.
