In this episode, Jordan heads to a tiny Romanian village in the foothills of the Carpathians to hang out with the Cazan family, master brewers of a fiery tequila-like drink called palinka. There he samples the 70-proof hooch, visits a Gypsy disco, and attempts to mix up a palinka based punch for a post church Romanian piss up.
This is part two of Knapsack Bartender, a series produced by VICE and Schweppes where we travel all over the place making new cocktails with drinks we've never heard of.
