Štrukani pelinkovac

(Štrukani pelin)

Štrukani pelinkovac (or štrukani pelin) is a somewhat novel Croatian drink that combines pelinkovac (traditional herbal liqueur) with lemon juice. In its basic form, the drink is made with pelinkovac that is poured into an ice-filled glass.


A lemon slice is then squeezed directly into the glass and mixed. The amount of lemon juice can vary, sometimes resulting in a drink with equal amounts of both ingredients. More elaborate versions often add orange juice, citrus zest, or spices.
