Product details
Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple is a Polish sour apple vodka liqueur from the Żubrówka ŻU line, made by enriching classic Żubrówka Bison Grass with natural apple juice and bottled at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. In Polish it is called Żubrówka Kwaśne Jabłko, "sour apple". It opens juicy and sweet, then shows sharper green-apple accents as it sits on the palate, with a light herbal hint of bison grass behind the fruit. As an apple liqueur, it is a ready-made nod to the famous Polish pairing of bison grass vodka and apple juice.
Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple on the nose and palate
- Nose: Green apple, apple peel and a soft herbal bison grass note.
- Palate: Juicy and sweet, then tangy, with crisp sour apple.
- Finish: Fresh and fruity, with a hint of hay.
How to serve Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple
Drink it cold, on its own in a small glass or on the rocks with a slice of green apple. Apple and bison grass suit roast pork, pork chops with apple sauce, a cheese board with Wensleydale and apple cake. It is a sociable bottle for autumn parties and harvest suppers.

How it compares
Sour Apple is a ready-made take on the classic apple pairing of Żubrówka Bison Grass, but sweeter and at 30% rather than 37.5%. Compared with Żubrówka ŻU Sour Lemon, it is fruitier and less sharply acidic. Żubrówka ŻU Sea Buckthorn is the other bison grass flavour in the ŻU line, tarter and more exotic.

Frequently asked questions
Is Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple the same as a Szarlotka?
No, but the two are close relatives. Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple is a ready-made liqueur that blends Żubrówka Bison Grass with natural apple juice, whereas a Szarlotka is mixed in the glass from Żubrówka Bison Grass and cloudy apple juice.
Is Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple very sour?
No, Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple opens juicy and sweet, and the tart green-apple sharpness only comes through as it sits on the palate. That balance lets Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple work both on the rocks and in long drinks.
What mixer goes with Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple?
Ginger ale pairs well with Żubrówka ŻU Sour Apple, adding gentle spice to the apple and grass: pour 40 ml over ice, top with 150 ml ginger ale and add a thin slice of green apple. Soda water keeps the drink drier.
