I'm 100% Yugoslavian/Serbian. My family uses it ALL the time. It's very easy to get drunk off of, lol. It's great with dinners, but especially rich desserts because of it's strong and syrup-like flavor. Men and women alike enjoy it because the strength of it caters to men and the fruity combo caters to women. I'm so glad I found this question ;) It's very inexpensive and makes for a great conversation starter since it's so different.

Not sure on the spelling but know the drink, location correct and yes as far as I know its a plum vodka rather than brandy cos the only times I have had it it has been clear where plum brandy is a dark colour

A popular plum schnapps, very often home distilled, common in Romania, Hungary, Germany, and many other mid- or eastern European countries.
Traditionally made by storing very ripe plums in an oak barrel, leaving them to ferment for a few months and then eventually it is distilled in a pot still. Strength is often very high - 50-60%.
Quality varies - the general opinion is that slivovits from the local village is of superb quality, while anything from the neighbouring village is of inferior quality.
Our Slivovits is of course of superb quality

Yes, slibovitz is plum brandy and I love it.
The first time I had it was when skiing in Austria. We went up with the cable lift, had a slibovitz when at the top and then full speed down. Great sport!
