Soplica

Soplica is a Polish term that can refer to two related but distinct uses in Polish culture and commerce: a beverage and a noble family surname.

Beverage: Soplica is a brand of plum-based spirits produced in Poland. The core product line centers on plum liqueur and plum vodkas, commonly described in Polish as śliwowica or śliwkowa. The liqueur is typically clear or pale amber, with a fruity character and varying sweetness and alcohol content. The brand has a long history in Polish distilling and is widely available domestically and, in some variants, abroad. It is traditionally served as a digestif and is also used in cocktails or culinary applications.

Surname: In Polish literature, Soplica is the surname of a noble family featured in Pan Tadeusz, the epic poem by Adam Mickiewicz. The Soplica family is one of the prominent noble houses in the story, and its members drive key plotlines involving honor, feud, and reconciliation.
