Happy 1^st Anniversary to US
It was a memorable year! We wanted to thank you by commemorating it by bringing in a special guest. We will be joined at this event by Andrew Bak, brand manager of the popularBison Grass Vodka and official sponsor of polishyoungstown.com. He is flying in from New York to teach us all about vodka infusions, the latest way to enjoy Poland’s most popular export. In fact, he is having his chemists make up a couple of special formulas just for us!

Of course we want you to make it even more fun! inviting you, our guests, to participate in our first Infusion Challenge: whip up your own vodka specialty flavor this week, bring it with you on Thursday and we will judge them at the party! Compete for a fun prize!

I put mine together last night and can’t wait to share it!

Our featured vodka will be the stylish Bison Grass. Known in Polish as Żubrówka, this brand of wisent -flavored vodka is distilled from rye and mixed with a tincture made of grass grown in Eastern Poland’s Bia 2;owieża Forest. The rich flavor qualities of this unique vodka will be highlighted in our signature drinks, the Bison Apple Martini and the Cranberry Bison Cocktail. Our beer offering will come from Zywiec.

By your request, we also will have NEW chic Polish Happy Hour Shirts on red and as well as brought back the popular black with its cool back design. It is a short run so you may want to reserve yours in advance. They are available to purchase online or at our events. Order one NOW!

As always there will be authentic Polish Hors’douvres, Zywiec beer and drink specials, music, door prizes, 50/50 raffle and more!

Stick around to hear the sounds of acoustic specialist 60 Year War!
