As spring approaches, we proudly present the new Arete Puro signature cocktails, created by promising local mixologist Ozana Domić, the only woman in Croatia who owns the cocktail catering company New Order. The goal of New Order is to create a community of professionals in which everyone is in charge of the sector in which they are best and to develop top-notch cocktails for all occasions. Her cocktail menus can be found in numerous local bars and restaurants, and she makes all the syrups and juices herself. Ozana joined the Arete Puro team this year and became the head mixologist in charge of signature cocktails suitable for all types of events.

“I really liked Arete Puro gin because of its citrus notes, and I quickly realized that it was a new brand on the market. I love collaborating with new brands because they invest, work hard, listen to the profession, and have a dynamic in their work that suits me because I like developing new things. I share similar interests with the Arete Puro team and we complement each other – I have freedom when creating the cocktail menu, which indicates mutual trust, which is the most important thing for good and successful cooperation,” said Ozana Domić, head mixologist for Arete Puro.

In the coming weeks, we will reveal new cocktails that Ozana has carefully designed so that everyone can make them independently and enjoy all the Mediterranean notes of Arete Puro Gin. The first cocktail we are presenting is called Sailor’s Breeze, and Ozana told us where she got the inspiration for making it.

“I adapt the names and recipes of each cocktail to the occasion, whether it’s a party, a restaurant, or a cocktail that anyone can make at home. Sailor’s Breeze is quite a simple cocktail with easily available ingredients, which was my main goal. I want people to enjoy that cocktail and to be able to prepare it quickly and easily“, explained the founder of the New Order cocktail catering company.
