About this deal

Bison grass vodka in Polish is called Żubrówka and what makes it immediately recognisable is the leaf of bison grass in the bottle and its pale yellow tone. Many believe it is the leaf alone that gives the vodka both the colour and the flavour, but that is not completely true. To make Żubrówka you infuse pure vodka with a tincture of bison grass. But since 2010, the main producer of zubrowka has made a coumarin-free version of the drink that is legally imported into the United States. (Confusingly, zubrowka has been used as the term for a type of spirit in the United States, like whiskey or gin, though just one producer, Polmos Białystok, uses Zubrowka — with a capital Z — as its brand name.) The brands Zubrovka and Żubrówka are registered by Sojuzplodoimport in Russia and Roust International in Poland. [7] [2] United States variant [ edit ] One of the things that sets Zubrowka apart from other vodkas is its unique flavor. While most vodkas are made from grains, Zubrowka is made with a special ingredient: bison grass. This gives it a flavor that's completely different from other vodkas on the market.

According to legend, Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka was first created in the 14th century by a group of Polish hunters who were seeking a way to preserve the flavor of the bison meat they had hunted. They discovered that by infusing the bison meat with alcohol, they could preserve its flavor for longer periods of time. And so, Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka was born.a b c Michaels, Daniel (2011-01-18). "Name Your Poison: How a Banned Polish Vodka Buffaloed Its Way Into the U.S." Wall Street Journal. Some say that the farmers and woodsmen of the forest would have a shot of Żubrówka every morning before they ventured off to work to give them the strength of a bison. Or was it a shot before they jumped into bed with their wives before they, well, you know? I forget. Either way, it has a long standing tradition as a drink that exerts some sort of ethereal power. Another recipe of odka alcohol is Przepalanka /Karmelowka- burnt sugar and Spiritus, Water, vanilla ; Allso Adwokaat – egg yolk /sugar , milk ,vanilla, Spirytus ‘n Koniak like – like brandy ( Chatelle or Remy BRandy .) Before 2010 Żubrówka was illegal in the United States because the grass it is made from contains coumarin which the FDA classifies as a "substances generally prohibited from direct addition or use as human food". [7] [8] Since 2011 the manufacturers have made a version of Żubrówka from rye grain which aims to have a flavor similar to the original. [7] [9] Methods of consumption [ edit ] Unique Flavor: As we mentioned earlier, Zubrowka has a distinct and sophisticated grassy flavor. This comes from the "zubrowna" grass that the Zubr, or European bison, eats. The grass is harvested and infused into the vodka, giving it a subtle, grassy aroma and a smooth, creamy texture. It's like nothing you've ever tasted before.

Most of the seedlings died, but a few of them survived and we ended up having a reasonable enough haul of the grass to start doing some trials,” he says. “We paired it with other ingredients that we can grow here like lemon thyme, which is really complementary, and then we added some spice by using some ginger.” Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka is not vegan because it contains honey.
