A Keralite Creates Ayurveda-Inspired Vodka Liqueur in Poland – A Fusion of Two Traditions

Warsaw, Poland:A Keralite entrepreneur has brought together the ancient traditions of India and the refined craftsmanship of Poland to create a one-of-a-kind premium vodka liqueur called Ayurvod — a name that merges Ayurveda (the ancient Indian science of life) with vodka (the pride of Polish distilling heritage).—A Kerala Tradition Meets Polish CraftAyurvod is not an ordinary spirit. It is a premium vodka liqueur inspired by the principles of Ayurveda and crafted with the distilling excellence of Poland.The creator, Midhun Mohan, originally from Kodungallur in Kerala, envisioned Ayurvod as a bridge between India’s herbal traditions and Europe’s refined distilling culture — a drink that captures the essence of both worlds in every sip.—Roots in Muziris — Kerala’s Ancient PortMidhun hails from Kodungallur, once known as Muziris, the ancient port city that connected Kerala to Europe, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean through the spice trade.Centuries ago, spices and herbs from Muziris travelled to distant lands — and now, through Ayurvod, that heritage finds a modern expression.Ayurvod continues the timeless legacy of India’s spice routes and cultural exchange, reimagined in the form of a premium European vodka liqueur.—Crafted with Herbal BlendsAyurvod is created using a carefully composed herbal blend, inspired by the Ayurvedic philosophy of harmony and balance.The blend features ingredients such as gooseberries (amla), cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, dry ginger, black pepper, star anise, javitri (mace), turmeric, coriander, and dry grapes, among others.These ingredients bring warmth, depth, and a distinctive herbal character to the liqueur.With an alcohol strength of about 40%, Ayurvod combines the structure of a spirit with the smoothness of a liqueur.—From Kerala to EuropeThe journey of Midhun Mohan began in 2013, when he moved from Kerala to London, where his exposure to international culture and global markets began. Later, he relocated to Poland, where he experienced the country’s rich vodka-making tradition.In 2018, he came across a herbal liqueur in Europe that sparked a question which would soon define his vision: “If India has one of the world’s oldest herbal traditions through Ayurveda, why can’t it have a liqueur that reflects that heritage?”That moment inspired the creation of Ayurvod — a drink that blends the spirit of Ayurveda with Polish craftsmanship.—A Product That Represents Two WorldsAyurvod stands as a symbol of cultural collaboration, blending Indian wisdom and Polish artistry in one bottle.It celebrates India’s ancient connection with global trade and culture — while embracing Poland’s mastery of vodka-making.Each bottle of Ayurvod tells a story of heritage meeting innovation, East meeting West, and tradition meeting modern craftsmanship.—Premium PositioningPositioned as a premium vodka liqueur, Ayurvod is designed for high-end bars, restaurants, and connoisseurs seeking something truly authentic and meaningful.The brand embodies luxury, balance, and cultural depth, appealing to both Indian and international audiences who appreciate craftsmanship with a story.—About the FounderMidhun Mohan, the founder of Ayurvod, hails from Kodungallur, Kerala, and has been living in Europe for over a decade.A lawyer and former TV journalist, he is now an entrepreneur who has combined his understanding of culture, business, and tradition to create Ayurvod — a product that unites the worlds of Ayurveda and European distillation.Speaking about Ayurvod, Midhun says: “Ayurvod is not just a drink — it’s a story in a bottle. It represents India’s ancient spirit of exchange, reinvented for today’s world. It’s about two cultures sharing one tradition — the pursuit o harmony.”
