In Poland's Bialowieza National Park where the buffalo do roam, I discovered "Żubrówka Bison Vodka" flavored with buffalo grass.
Each bottle sports a signature blade of grass which speaks to
authenticity (think agave worm in Mezcal bottles). Because of its
yellowish color locals joke that it's bison piss vodka. Being six times
distilled, I thought notes of herb, vanilla, and almond where more apparent...
Of course best when shared, frozen and sipped from a small glass. Yet others prefer Żubrówka chilled and mixed with
apple juice, a drink originating in Poland and known as
Tatanka. Meanwhile in the UK, it's called a
Frisky Bison. Na zdrowie!
