Mixing Croatian spirit with French elegance
The Adriatic Olivette captures the vibe of a European soirée, combining herbal notes with floral brightness. This cocktail is reminiscent of a classic martini, but the addition of French dry vermouth and the Croatian favorite, pelinkovac, makes it distinctly unique. It serves as a tribute to the vivid flavors that define both Croatia and France.
