Product details
Żubrówka Cranberry is a Polish cranberry vodka liqueur, blending Żubrówka vodka with cranberry juice for a tart, ruby-red drink at 37.5% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Its Polish name is Żurawina, the word for cranberry. Because it is bottled at 37.5%, the vodka stays clearly present and the cranberry adds sharp, fresh fruit rather than heavy sweetness. It is a cranberry vodka for people who like dry, tart flavours, and it fits naturally into the festive season.
Żubrówka Cranberry tasting notes
- Nose: Fresh cranberry, red berry juice and a hint of citrus.
- Palate: Tart and lively, with light sweetness and a clean vodka backbone.
- Finish: Dry and refreshing, ending on cranberry skin.
How to drink Żubrówka Cranberry
Serve it chilled, neat in a small glass or on the rocks with a wedge of lime. The tartness suits roast turkey, duck, game and soft cheeses such as Brie, much as cranberry sauce does. It is a natural bottle for Christmas and New Year, and it also lifts a simple summer highball.
Żubrówka Cranberry cocktails
- Cape Codder: pour 50 ml over ice in a highball, top with 120 ml cranberry juice and squeeze in a lime wedge.
- Cranberry Rosemary Spritz: build 40 ml Żubrówka Cranberry over ice in a wine glass with 80 ml prosecco, 40 ml soda water and a rosemary sprig.

Żubrówka Cranberry vs Lubelska Cranberry
Lubelska Cranberry is a sweeter liqueur at 30%, based on fresh cranberry juice, where the fruit leads. Żubrówka Cranberry is drier and more spirit-led, closer to a flavoured vodka. Within its own brand, Żubrówka Raspberry has the same strength but a softer, jammy berry profile, and Żubrówka Rose is gentler and floral.
