The Czech Republic, or Czechia, offers a diverse array of alcoholic and alcohol-free beverages that reflect its history and craftsmanship. From the globally acclaimed Czech beers and Moravian wines to unique spirits like Slivovice plum spirit and herbal liqueurs, enjoyed on their own or as part of a cocktail. Each drink tells a story of tradition and innovation. 

Slivovice, or slivovitz, a traditional Czech plum brandy, is renowned for its strong, fruity flavor. This clear spirit is distilled from fermented plums and typically contains a high alcohol content. Slivovice is a cultural staple in Czech celebrations and gatherings, symbolizing hospitality and local craftsmanship. Although slivovitz is often homemade, one of the most recognized and popular commercially produced brands is R. Jelinek that has been making Vizovicka Slivovice in the town of Vizovice since the 19th century.
