This little number was created by Marin Nekic, award-winning Croatian barman and mixologist, to try and create Croatia's first national drink. The name also flies off the tongue when you repeat 'The Crocktail Cocktail'.

Method

In a low ball glass with ice add the cherry liqueur, the cherry juice, the lemon juice and 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.
