Advantages: The taste of herbs

Disadvantages: 40% alcohol

Zubrowka Vodka, (which, if you want to sound Polish, needs to be pronounced "Zubrufka") is a herb flavoured vodka from a specific region of Poland. It is one of my favourite spirit. It is known in UK as the "Bison Grass Vodka" because the herb which is in it is actually the same herb that bison eats in the Bialowieza forest, which is the last forest in Europe with Bisons.

Although local people always produced this kind of vodka at home, the industrial production only started after 1st World War.

Not many people know that this vodka is not allowed in USA because it contains elements which they consider toxic.

You can buy this vodka at Tesco, and many of the Polish shops which are mushrooming in UK. You can drink it cold by its own, with a sprinkle of lemon, with a slice of orange, or in the most popular combination with apple juice. It also goes extremely well with ice cream, they recommend it with vanilla ice cream, and any kind of fruit flavoured ice cream. It normally has 40% alcohol.

Summary: I like it
