Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka is a renowned Polish spirit infused with aromatic bison grass, native to the Białowieża Forest. Each bottle features a single blade of this distinctive grass, lending the vodka its signature character. The flavour is both unique and inviting, with notes of almond, cinnamon, fresh hay, and thyme. Exceptionally versatile, Żubrówka pairs beautifully with cloudy apple juice for a crisp, refreshing serve. It also shines in cocktails like the Apple Martini Full Moon, or simply mixed with tonic or ginger ale.

FAQs
No. Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka at 40% ABV, infused with a blade of Polish bison grass in each bottle, will not spoil or go bad if stored correctly. The high alcohol content prevents microbial deterioration. The bison grass blade in the bottle may slightly deepen in colour over extended periods and the fresh hay, coumarin, vanilla, and almond aromatic character will gradually diminish if the bottle is stored open for several years, but the spirit will remain safe and drinkable.
Żubrówka's fresh cut grass, coumarin, vanilla, and almond botanical character pairs most naturally with fresh apple juice in the traditional Polish Tatanka cocktail, where the crisp apple and hay combination is one of the most intuitive spirit and mixer pairings in the world. Fresh elderflower cordial and soda amplifies the floral and herbal notes. Ginger beer creates a more assertive, spiced long serve. Avoid citrus heavy mixers, which compete with the delicate herbal character rather than complementing it.

Żubrówka is best served ice cold, either neat from the freezer in a small shot glass or over ice in a tall glass topped with fresh apple juice in the classic Tatanka serve. The coumarin, fresh grass, vanilla, and almond character is most expressive at low temperatures where the volatile aromatic compounds are preserved. At room temperature the spirit can seem slightly flat: cold serving is integral to experiencing the botanical character at its most vivid and aromatic.
Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka is made commercially by macerating harvested bison grass (Hierochloe odorata) from the Białowieża Forest of eastern Poland in rye based vodka. The bison grass imparts coumarin, fresh hay, vanilla, and almond character to the spirit. For a home infusion approximation, steep a clean blade of sweet grass or fragrant meadow grass in neutral vodka for 24 to 48 hours, strain, and taste. Coumarin concentration determines the intensity: over infusion produces a medicinal result.
