New Year’s Eve deserves a cocktail that is just as glamorous and unforgettable!

Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new one is always a special moment, and that was exactly what mixologist and Arete Puro brand ambassador Ozana Domić had in mind when she created a cocktail for new beginnings — one you can now make at home by following her instructions.

Using Arete Puro gin as its base, this cocktail is sure to become a symbol of the most special night of the year, while also setting the tone for all of 2026 and the many memorable moments yet to come. With its unique notes, Arete Puro gin perfectly complements this idea, and every sip delivers an unforgettable experience.
