Description
Maraska Pelinkovac is Croatia’s iconic herbal liqueur, crafted in the coastal city of Zadar since 1861. Distilled from neutral grain spirit and infused with wild Dalmatian wormwood (pelin), orange peel, caraway, anise, and a guarded bouquet of Mediterranean botanicals, this deep-amber cordial delivers an intoxicating balance of bittersweet complexity and aromatic warmth. The first sip opens with bright orange zest and minty alpine herbs, followed by earthy wormwood bitterness, hints of dark cocoa, and a lingering finish of dried figs and clove that invites contemplative sipping.
At 31% ABV, Pelinkovac is traditionally served neat and chilled as a digestif, yet its layered flavor profile makes it a bartender’s secret weapon—try it in place of amaro in a Black Manhattan, drizzle a half-ounce over vanilla gelato, or spike an espresso for a true Adriatic café experience. Pair alongside dark chocolate truffles, rich cheeses, or a smoky charcuterie board to tease out its citrus and spice nuances.
