Read More“CHOPIN VODKA IS A TRIBUTE TO CRAFTSMANSHIP AND FLAVOR.
EVERY SIP TELLS A STORY OF DEDICATION AND EXCELLENCE.”
Indulge in the refined sophistication of Chopin Vodka, where every sip is a testament to timeless elegance. Crafted with meticulous care and a commitment to excellence, Chopin Vodka epitomizes the art of Polish distillation. From its inception as a pioneer of luxury vodka to its continued dedication to quality ingredients sourced locally from Polish farmers, Chopin Vodka stands as a symbol of prestige and craftsmanship. Raise your glass and toast to the unparalleled smoothness and distinctive character that defines Chopin Vodka—a celebration of tradition and refinement in every exquisite drop.
To commemorate their 30th anniversary, Chopin has released the exclusive Chopin Vintage Vault, a potato vodka drawn from its first release and aged for three decades, presented in a hand-cut crystal decanter with natural pearl cocktail picks.
Tad Dorda epitomizes a dedication to excellence and a passion for crafting extraordinary spirits. With a meticulous approach, Tad transformed Chopin into a symbol of Polish craftsmanship, revered worldwide for its meticulous distillation process and enduring allure.
At a recent Chopin Meet the Maker event, Tad and Fran Berger toasted with FBL coupe glasses from the Fran Berger Living signature crystal stemware line, creating a perfect blend that ensures each sip of Chopin Vodka reflects a legacy of tradition and unparalleled quality.
For Fran, a drink menu can make or break a restaurant. Good wine, champagne, and Chopin Vodka aren’t just luxuries, they’re necessities!
Having spent enough time in Beverly Hills, New York, London, and Tampa to have a list of go-to restaurants in these cities that always have her beloved Chopin on hand, Fran is sharing her secrets to the best drink (and food!) in town. Cheers to celebrating the extraordinary!
I love to enjoy Chopin Vodka neat or in a classic martini, but it goes beautifully with a bit of lemon liqueur and cranberry juice in this Luxe Lemon Cosmo on warm summer days. We’re sharing our favorite Lemon Luxe Cosmo recipe. This cosmopolitan — made with bright, citrus notes and our favorite premiere spirit, Chopin Vodka — is a wonderful signature cocktail to enjoy at your next outdoor gathering or formal dinner party. Guests will certainly be coming back for a second round of this classic cocktail with a twist.
Just the right amount of sweet and tart. Make it at home served in the Fran Berger Living Heron Coupe Glass.

Read MoreWhen you own restaurants, as I did for more than twenty years, you learn quite a bit about serving all kinds of different food. Caviar is a little unusual in its own way. Serving can be tricky, but the effort is well worth the work.
