Product details
Żubrówka ŻU Sea Buckthorn is a Polish sea buckthorn and bison grass liqueur from the Żubrówka ŻU line, combining tart sea buckthorn berries with bison grass extract and fruity notes, bottled at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. It is sold as Żubrówka Rześki Rokitnik, "crisp sea buckthorn". Sea buckthorn is a thorny shrub with bright orange berries that taste sharp and sour, and the bison grass adds a soft, hay-like note underneath. Inspired by a fresh morning in the forest, this sea buckthorn liqueur is aimed at the warmer months and at people who like tart, unusual fruit.
