Gemišt

Gemišt is a Croatian cocktail made with a combination of white wine and sparkling mineral water. In order to prepare it, it is enough to simply mix the two well-chilled ingredients together in a glass. It is recommended to use dry white wines with higher acids such as Rajnski Rizling, Graševina, Škrlet, Moslavac, and Kraljevina.

The name gemišt is derived from the German word gemischt, which means mixed. It is especially popular in central Croatia during summer, and it has been found out that continental Croatians enjoyed gemišt as early as the 19th century.

There is also a similar drink that is traditionally prepared in the Croatian south, where red wine is mixed with still water, creating bevanda in the process.
