Sipping on Slivovica – a Kotor Brandy Tasting, Kotor, Montenegro. Copyright © 2022 Terence Carter / Grantourismo. All Rights Reserved.

Sipping on Slivovica – a Kotor Brandy Tasting

Slivovica, the Serbian grape brandy. Despite having grown up drinking my Russian grandfather’s vodka, which we called ‘tractor fuel’, nothing prepared me for the burning sensation in my throat from the first tasting of Slivovica.

Sipping on Slivovica – a Kotor Brandy Tasting

I sampled it during a meal at a restaurant in the Old Town of Kotor. I temporarily lost my voice, and nodded and smiled at the waiter, even though I had half suspected I’d been poisoned. What the hell was this stuff?

Peek into a bar in the Stari Grad and you’ll see the old guys sipping a clear or golden-coloured spirit in a small shot glass. Order a zakuska (mixed starter plate) in a restaurant and you’ll be offered slivovica, which is what the locals match with their appetisers, not wine.

It reminded me of Sunday lunch at Lara’s Russian grandparents, where Lara’s uncle once set fire to his father’s home-made vodka to prove a point about how potent it was…

In the supermarket liquor section in Kotor, you’ll see more varieties of liquors from the rakija family — slivovica (clear grape brandy), gorki liker (golden or caramel-coloured and more medicinal tasting) and domaci rum (local ‘rum’) — than you will wine or beer.

Tiny bottles of the stuff cost around one euro each. A bargain. Plus, you wouldn’t want to drink more than that.

Naturally, a tasting was in order…

Notes from a Kotor Brandy Tasting

Brka Slivovica, Rakija Od Sljiva

Lara: You can smell the fruit straight away, loads of plums, and then you swiftly taste the plum again and it’s lovely for a second… right before the burning sensation! Once that dies down, there’s a perfume-like fragrance left in your mouth… I like it. And I like the little old man on the label.
Terence: Yes, you can definitely smell the plum, but then the potency goes up your nose and in the back of your mouth and you really notice the warming alcohol burn… it takes your breathe away.

Rubin Prepecenica, Rakija Od Voca

Lara: I smell caramel on the nose initially, then there’s the taste of plums also, but there’s a richer, warmer feel – or maybe that’s the colour influencing perception rather than my taste buds. While there is still a burning sensation it’s not as numbing…
Terence: True. This one has a bit more sugar and a little bit more fruit…it’s probably a little more approachable than the first one for those burning their throats for the first time!

Takovo Prepecenica, Rakija Od Voca

Lara: This one is even sweeter and more plummy on the nose, and sweeter on first taste, but then there’s quite a bit of alcohol, although not as much as the others… then nothing… odd.
Terence: It definitely doesn’t have much length, but it does have more fruit on the palate. I think I’m liking the fire-breathing ones better.

Takovo Pelinkovac, Gorki Liker

Lara: It’s much darker in colour, almost like medicine on the nose. I think they actually say that this kind of liquor has medicinal qualities! It’s very herbaceous, and has a slight alcohol zing, but not as heady as the others.
Terence: It’s very medicinal and has a bitter after-taste. Frankly, it tastes like bad medicine. Bad medicine is not what I need.

Maraska Pelinkovac, Gorki Biljni Liker

Lara: I just love the cute blue label on this one! This is a similar colour to the last one – maybe it has more of a ruby tinge to it. This one is even more aromatic, more medicinal, and has a strong alcoholic after-taste… once the alcohol dies down, it feels as if you’ve drunk cough medicine.
Terence: Oh god, that’s just as awful as the last one…

Maraska Domaci Rum, Jako Alkoholno Pice

Lara: This label is very Havana-retro. Much prefer this on the nose – lots of butterscotch there, but this is another potent drop, loads of alcohol on the tongue, although once that subsides there’s that medicinal ‘quality’ again… I think I’d rather drink cough medicine…
Terence: It smells sweeter… is that the rum?… you can taste a cane-sugar-ness to it, it’s as if it’s meant to be rum but is not really… I feel like I’m drinking poison! There is a reason that the label says ‘strong liquor’. That is potent stuff.

    Teehee! I’m a big fan of slivovica, after a friend brought back a bottle of home-made stuff from her travels. It’s evil, but once you’ve acquired the taste it’s great. Did you taste all of these on the same day? 6 shots is some good going, while still being able to focus on analysing them all …

  2. Terence Carter says

    Yep, all in the one session. And the night before a 1 1/2 hour drive and a couple of flights and another 1 1/2 hour drive! We can handle our booze, although the notes were a little messy by the end!

    I actually grew quite fond of Brka Slivovica, Rakija Od Sljiva (the clear one), super stuff. And it does go well with a cheese and meat plate.

    Cheers,

    T

    Firewater, cheese and meat. You’re talking my language now. My most memorable night on slivovica was also combined with absinthe. I finished a show (this was in my acting days) and headed on to a party. Everyone else was flagging as it was about 1am, but I turned up stone cold sober, downed a few shots of slivovica and absinthe and got it all going again. I woke up the next morning covered in cigarette burns and with a rip right the way up the seam of my brand new dress. Like I say, evil stuff, but good fun.

    Sounds like the kind of tasting I’d enjoy at home. So I can collapse afterwards! The fire-breathing varieties sound most interesting. I love my Vodka too and I’m not averse to trying different alcohols and regional drinks, all in the name of research, of course…

    :)

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

If you’re looking for tips to visiting Angkor, Siem Reap and Cambodia, just ask us a question in the comments below or check Grantourismo as we’ve got loads of info on our site. Click through to the link in the bio and explore our Cambodia guide or search for ‘Angkor’.

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bún chả, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bún chả. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bún chả recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bún chả meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bún thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bún bò Nam Bộ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bộ=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs. 

Xíu mại= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bún chả patties. Xíu mại remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bánh tằm xíu mại. Bánh tằm=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bún chả giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to “partner” with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
