Foreigners love pálinka

Budapest’s tourists spent record number of pálinka at the weekend, although it is well-known that Hungaricum is considered to be too strong to the foreigners.

The unusual popularity is due to a new pálinka brand and the long springs called Forrás Spritz, which is made of raspberry or quince pálinka with soda and lime. The new product is available in downtown restaurants for a week, but it has doubled the turnover of pálinka even during the first weekend.
