The drink mixture was created by the magical mind and hand of the most well-known Croatian barman, Marin Nekic.
The drink contains ingredients that originate from Dalmatia (region in Croatia) and represent a Dalmatian way of living. [3]
History
Preparation
In a Collins or Highball glass with ice, add the Maraschino liqueur, the cherry juice, the lemon juice, and a peel of an orange. The original recipe calls for Arancini – a candied orange peel from Dubrovnik, that gives this drink its unique taste. But knowing that that's quite hard to come by for most, try substituting normal orange peel. Stir all the ingredients to combine and chill, before garnishing with a bit more orange peel to serve. To be true to the original, you should be looking for Zadar Maraschino liqueur, sour cherry juice, and Arancini. [4]
