Not many places stock it, but I've bought it at [[https://www.nicks.com.au/polmos-spirytus-rektykiowany-rectified-spirit-polish-pure-spirit-vodka-500ml|Nick's Wine Merchants]], in Doncaster. Otherwise try searching for the brand [[ddg>Polmos Spirytus Rektyfikowany melbourne|Polmos Spirytus Rektyfikowany]]. You can also use vodka, but it'll taste wrong. {{tag>alcohol Italy recipe}}
