Drink
Daytime drinking takes place in a kavana (cafe) or a slasticarnica (patisserie). Coffee ( kava ) is usually served black unless specified otherwise - ask for mlijeko (milk) or slag (cream). Tea ( caj ) is widely available, but is drunk without milk. Night-time drinking takes place in a growing number of small kafici or cafe/bars. Croatian beer ( pivo ) is of the light lager variety; Karlovacko and Ozujsko are two good local brands to look out for. The local wine ( vino ) is consistently good and reasonably cheap. In Dalmatia there are some pleasant whites, crisp dry wines like Kastelet, Grk and Posip, as well as reds like the dark heady Dingac and Babic. In Istria, Semion is a bone-dry white, and Teran a light fresh red. Local spirits include loza , a clear grape-based spirit; travarica , herbal brandy; vinjak , locally produced cognac, and Maraskino , a cherry liqueur from Dalmatia.
