Product details
Żubrówka ŻU Fresh Mint is a Polish fresh mint vodka liqueur from the Żubrówka ŻU line, made with wheat spirit, fresh mint and water from Białowieża Forest sources, bottled at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. In Polish it is Żubrówka Orzeźwiająca Mięta, meaning "refreshing mint". It tastes of green garden mint rather than menthol sweets, with a light sweetness and a clean finish. This mint liqueur suits people who grow mint on the windowsill for their own drinks and like a leafy, natural flavour.
Tasting Żubrówka ŻU Fresh Mint
- Nose: Fresh garden mint, crushed leaves and a hint of lime.
- Palate: Cool and herbal, with spearmint, a light sweetness and a clean wheat base.
- Finish: Fresh and green, with a lingering mint coolness.
How to drink Żubrówka ŻU Fresh Mint
Serve it ice-cold, neat in a small glass or over crushed ice with a sprig of fresh mint. Mint goes well with lamb, grilled vegetables, tabbouleh and chocolate desserts. It is a refreshing bottle for hot days and summer parties, and it is easy to build into a long drink with citrus and soda.
Mint cocktails with Żubrówka
Citrus and apple both suit the leafy mint.
- Mint Collins: pour 50 ml over ice in a tall glass, add 20 ml lemon juice and 10 ml sugar syrup, then top with 100 ml soda water.
- Mint & Apple Fizz: build 40 ml Żubrówka ŻU Fresh Mint over ice with 120 ml sparkling apple juice and a thin apple slice.
How it compares
Fresh Mint is greener and more natural in style than Żubrówka Ice Bomb, which is more intense and menthol-like at the same 30%. Compared with Żubrówka ŻU Lime & Mint, it is a purer mint flavour without the citrus or hemp. Lubelska Chill Mojito adds lime and lemon at a lighter 21%.
