Manastirka Plum Brandy

Manastirka plum brandy is a type of alcoholic beverage made from plums. It is a traditional spirit from Serbia and is considered to be one of the country's national drinks. 

To make manastirka plum brandy, plums are first crushed and fermented in large barrels. This process can take several weeks to a few months, depending on the desired flavor and alcohol content. After fermentation, the plum mixture is distilled in traditional copper stills to extract the alcohol. 

The resulting liquid is then aged in wooden barrels for a period of time to develop its flavor and aroma. The aging process can range from a few months to several years, with longer aging typically resulting in a smoother and more complex taste. 

Manastirka plum brandy is known for its strong fruity flavor and smooth finish. It is typically consumed as an aperitif or digestif, and is often enjoyed neat or on the rocks. It can also be used in cocktails or mixed with other beverages for added flavor. 

In Serbia, manastirka plum brandy is often enjoyed during celebrations and special occasions. It is also commonly given as a gift or souvenir.
