Wściekły pies ("rabid dog" or “mad dog”) is a Polish alcoholic drink consisting of a 1 cl shot ofvodka, a shot of raspberry or blackcurrant syrup, and several drops oftabasco sauce.[1] It is traditionally drunk in a single gulp, with the ingredients mixing in the mouth, and the syrup softening the taste of the vodka and tabasco.
A variation isTeraz Polska ("Now Poland", in a style of a patriotic slogan), which consists of only a shot of vodka and syrup. The heavier syrup falls to the bottom of the glass and is said to resemble thePolish flag.
Wściekły pies originated in WestPomerania, inSwinoujscie by Dariusz Ryżczak, known restaurateur and cultural animator.[2][3]
