Culture and traditions Croatia

 Traditions and customs

For an aperatif we'll drink... a brandy! Your choice, you can have Maraschino (25°) a cherry liqueur or Travarica, the local grappa.
Did you know that the tie comes from Croatia? In the 18th century, the Croatian soldiers imported the trend to France, who has kept the word (cravat/cravate) since. The tradition was born, and it spread around the world.
