Yahoo Autos Detroit City Distillery launches horseradish vodka: How to buy it
Detroit City Distillery has added a bonus to Friday’s launch of its Paczki Day Vodka. New this year is the distillery’s Hometown Horseradish vodka. This limited-edition vodka is distilled with fresh horseradish and is ideal for making, what else, but a classic bloody mary. The vodka pairs raw horseradish with 100% Michigan corn vodka.
“Every year when we release Paczki Day Vodka, we try to create an amazing experience for our fans and reward them with something new," Michael Forsyth, co-owner of Detroit City Distillery (DCD), said in a statement. “This year’s big surprise is Hometown Horseradish Vodka.”
While the horseradish vodka has a “solid kick,” Forsyth said, it’s also one of the smoothest the company has ever made.
Hometown Horseradish and Paczki Day Vodka, ready-to-drink bloody marys, cocktails, limited-edition merchandise and Pączki Day Vodka will go on sale 8 a.m. Feb. 3 at detroitcitydistillery.com.

Everything will be available for pick up later that day at the Tasting Room, 2462 Riopelle St. in Eastern Market, starting at 4 p.m. during the Paczki Day Vodka launch party. Both vodkas are $35 per bottle. While Paczki Day Vodka will be sold at some liquor stores, the Hometown Horseradish will not. Cocktails include the Polish Daisy at $10 per bottle or $36 for a four-pack, and the Polish Bloody Mary is $12 per bottle.
