Żubrówka

About

Żubrówka is a truly iconic Polish bison grass vodka, instantly recognizable for its unique flavor and the blade of bison grass in every bottle. Originating from the Bialowieza Forest, this spirit has been a beloved staple across Eastern Europe for decades, carrying a rich tradition in its every drop. For the Balkan and Eastern European diaspora in California, Żubrówka evokes memories of celebrations, family gatherings, and a taste of home. Its distinctive herbaceous notes make it a versatile base for cocktails or a delightful chilled shot.

What we carry

• Liqueur: Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka
• Rakija: While Żubrówka is a vodka, not a rakija, it serves a similar celebratory and cultural function in Polish and broader Eastern European contexts, often enjoyed neat. (Note: Data indicates Rakija as a product type, but Żubrówka is specifically a vodka/liqueur. This may be a catalog miscategorization or a broader categorization of strong spirits.)

Heritage & Philosophy
