Used centuries ago in eastern Polish celebrations, bison grass was believed to promote power, wealth and youthfulness. Now it can be found in vodka. Zu bison grass flavored vodka is sealed with a blade of bison grass (or zubrowka) in the bottle and features the natural flavors of the herbaceous grass indigenous to Poland as well as notes of chamomile, coconut and vanilla.
