Croatia and
Zadar are famous from several drinks which you just should try. In this post
and in the following one I will list you the most popular and tasty alcohol drink
in Croatia. Please have a look on this list and for sure you will find
something for you. To be honest not each
of them may firstly seem to you tasty, because Croatian love the alcohol drinks
made from herbs. However, I highly recommend to try each of them so as to feel
the real taste of Croatia.
To start
with, in Zadar is located Maraska, from many people consider as the sign of
Croatia. They produce two product categories that stand out among the rich and
diverse range of Maraska´s products. The first category consists out of the
products based on autochthon cherry marasca like fruit syrups Amarena Premium
and Amarena and nectar Amarena. The second category consists out of the strong
alcoholic drinks assortment, such as are liqueurs Maraschino, Cherry Brandy,
Cherrica, Orahovac, the so-called Maraska specialties.
The most
popular among them is Maraschino liqueur originated in the city of Zadar. Quite
amazing thing considering to this drink is that it come from the 16th century. It is made from maraska sour
cherries, what makes the drink sweet and fragrant.
Where to
Find Maraschino Liqueur
Maraschino
liqueur can be purchased throughout Croatia. It is usually – but not always –
sold in straw-wrapped bottles that give this special drink a distinctive look. This bottles were initially produced in a city of Murano near Venice,
and later, after 1869 in the new glass factory in Zadar. The present company,
Maraska, uses these historical bottles as a model for the Maraschino
bottles we use today in order to maintain its image and its distinctive visual
identity.

maraschino is excellent served at the end of a meal.
