Made to the recipe of a 500 year old witches potion from the Czech Republic, Babicka is a blend of vodka flavoured with wormwood and various herbs. It is named after 16th Century Czechoslovakian Babickas, who were wise women, known for their magical powers and witchcraft. They used wormwood like it was going out of fashion, and extracted the thujone from the wormwood to use in their various magical potions and charms.
