Tatanka
This excellent cocktail's taste is a little reminiscent of Earl Grey tea. It's equally good shaken and served straight-up in a coupe

Glad I tried this. Excellent long drink (it grew on me). Lacking apples to slice, I lightly dusted the surface with cinnamon. Can only wonder how much better better this could be with authentic Polish bison grass vodka as the U.S. version contains no coumarin, the essential flavor component in sweet grass!

Was out of limes so used lemon. I liked it better! I'm thinking lemon pairs better with apples than lime does.

Agreed Chris. Also, thanks to comment by Ignacy, I now know that lemon juice is the correct Polish traditional serve.

Traditionally in Poland this cocktail is build in the glass (no shaker) putting in order Zubrowka, apple juice and lemon juice without even stirring. It is the Polish equivalent of gin and tonic. I tried the shaker version but it doesn't taste the same. It is served with cinnamon powder and a piece of apple as a garnish.
For the record, tatanka is a rift of a cocktail called Szarlotka (Apple pie) made only with zubrowka and apple juice.

It was a good experiment to see how the method of preparation changes the taste of the cocktail. The shaker version exacerbates the citrus tones significantly.

Many thanks, Ignacy. I've amended to be stirred in glass rather than shaken. I'll reshoot to also correct the garnish.

Found the amount of apple juice overpowering but cannot wait to try in apple season with russets.
