Product details
Żubrówka ŻU Sour Lemon is a Polish sour lemon vodka liqueur from the Żubrówka ŻU line, built around a sharp lemon flavour and bottled at 30% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Known in Polish as Żubrówka Kwaśna Cytryna, "sour lemon", it plays up the tangy side of the fruit, with just enough sweetness to keep it balanced. The style is bright and zesty rather than syrupy. This lemon liqueur suits people who squeeze extra lemon onto everything and want a tart, refreshing drink for warm evenings.

How to drink Żubrówka ŻU Sour Lemon
Serve it ice-cold in a small glass, or long with a mixer over ice. Lemon cuts through fried and rich food, so try it with fried fish, calamari, seafood platters or a slice of lemon tart. It fits summer evenings, barbecues and parties, where a sharp, cold drink refreshes between courses.

Serwować lodowato zimną w małym kieliszku albo z sokiem z cytryny i wodą gazowaną; pasuje do smażonej ryby i owoców morza.
