Summer with Arete Puro Cocktails: The Aftertaste Everyone’s Talking About
June in Zagreb was marked by Arete Puro gin – one of the most beloved guests at numerous social events. You can read more about it here.
The pre-summer season in the city is traditionally reserved for after-work gatherings that blend business with pleasure, making the countdown to long-awaited vacations just a bit more enjoyable.
These gatherings truly shone thanks to attractive venues, carefully chosen outfits worn by guests, and the ever-essential cocktails. It’s all part of the magic of summer parties, and the final, enchanting ingredient was – Arete Puro gin.

In collaboration with mixologist, Arete Puro brand ambassador, and owner of Croatia’s only cocktail catering company New Order, Ozana Domić, a few signature cocktails were created for the occasion. These unique combinations, crafted in Ozana’s kitchen, were eagerly tasted and delighted guests – especially since they were exclusive and couldn’t be sampled anywhere else. Each of these drinks added extra charm to every event. The synergy between the Arete Puro brand and Ozana Domić proved to be a perfect match in the mission to offer guests something authentic and different – especially for those who appreciate top-tier entertainment and unforgettable flavors.

“Working with Ozana and New Order Cocktail Catering to celebrate Jolie.hr’s 10th anniversary was a real pleasure! Ozana, who is also the brand ambassador for Arete Puro gin, immediately understood our vision – cocktails that would stand out from everything currently on the market and leave a lasting impression, just as befits a big, unique celebration. She created signature cocktails that perfectly captured the atmosphere of our rooftop party – they were creative, delicious, and visually stunning. The guests were thrilled, and it was clear to us that we had chosen the right person and the perfect drink for such a special night,” shared Anita Radovčić, owner of Jolie.hr.
“At our last IBMC (International Business Meetup Club) party before the autumn break, there were more than 200 people, and everyone was thrilled with the cocktails. The most popular one featured a combination of Arete Puro gin and mango. My goal is to promote only the best local products, and that’s how I discovered Arete Puro gin. For the best business crowd in town – the best gin in town! The collaboration with Ozana was a total hit,” said Josip Novosel, event organizer and founder of Flash.hr.

“The cocktails were top-notch,” said popular local influencer Ana Vladušić on Jolie’s Instagram profile. “The combinations looked insane! Huge props for creativity and execution. Ozana + Arete Puro = unreal cocktails,” read another comment on the post. Another chimed in: “Definitely the most unique cocktails. So delicious!”
“I’m always incredibly happy at events when I see people’s reactions. At first, they’re often skeptical when they see the ingredients in my cocktails, but then they try them, hear the story behind each flavor, and they’re completely surprised. That moment of trust and surprise is my biggest motivation. Above all, people notice the names of the cocktails – I always try to make them creative, fitting for the event theme, and aligned with the visual identity and spirit of the Arete Puro brand. When I bring all that together and see their surprise and smiles, that’s the confirmation that we’re creating something truly special,” concludes Ozana Domić.
Our glasses might be empty for now, but not for long. We’re taking a short summer break – and returning with fresh new rounds at the end of August.
