General Comments
Zubrowka Bison Vodka is a true Polish treasure. It is very unique in its flavor and taste. Mixed with apple juice in 1 to 2 ratio and served on ice with a slice of lemon (known as Tatanka in Poland) makes for the ultimate summer time drink. Very refreshing and satifying. All of the reviewers who state that it should be served chilled are wrong. Chilling Zubrowka prevents you from fully experiencing its wonderful aroma and taste. In that regard Zubrowka is like a good Brandy or Cognac.
Here in the USA it was made illegal because of its Coumarin content. Coumarin is what gives it some of its flavor, but not all of it. Coumarin has been found to be carcinogenic in large doses. The good thing about Zubrowka is that it contains only 12mg of Coumarin per bottle. The subjects who developed cancer of the liver took 200mg Coumarin tablets daily, for months at a time. Your liver will get damaged from the alcohol well before Coumarin will have any effect on it. But, in a sweeping regulation all food products containing Coumarin were outlawed.
I fell in love with Zubrowka while in Poland so much that I started to make my own since I can not buy it. I grow the grass (called Hierochloe Odorata) make the tea-like essence and flavor clear vodka with it.
The point is that Zubrowka is worth going out of your way to acquire. Indeed a very special drink. All of you Europeans who can just buy it in the store consider yourself lucky.
