Да, ты так должна. Yes. Who's up for some Zubrovka?
According to legend, Zubrowka yields medicinal benefits, and imparts the strength of the bison to all who drink it. The vodka contains no bison, but is flavoured using bison grass which grows in small clumps in the glades of the Bialowieza Forest on the border between Russia and Poland. The grass is harvested in the summer, when its aromatic qualities are at their optimum and then placed over sieves through which the spirit is then passed several times. The spirit is then mixed with a high quality dry rye vodka made from a secret ancient recipe and left for a few weeks to infuse together. At bottling, a single blade of the grass is then added, by hand, to each bottle. The vodka was traditionally drunk at the end of a good day's shooting by hunters, and it is now the most popular flavoured vodka in Poland.Very interesting flavour which you either love or hate. It has complex flavours of lavender, thyme, and coconut, with the aroma of freshly mowed grass A wonderful vodka, delicious neat and chilled, or mixed with English apple juice.

Honey, I have half a bottle of it in my cupboard! Makes the best bloody marys. If you mix it with apple juice, it's called tatanka. TATANKA!
