Drink
Daytime drinking takes place in small cafe/bars, or in a kavarna , where a range of cakes, pastries and ice cream is usually on offer. Coffee ( kava ) is usually served black unless specified otherwise - ask for mleko (milk) or smetana (cream) - and often drunk alongside a glass of mineral water ( mineralna voda ). Tea ( caj ) is usually served black. Familiar nonalcoholic drinks ( brezalkoholne pijace ) such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Sprite are all fairly ubiquitous. Evening drinking usually goes on in small European-style bars or the more traditional pivnica (beer hall) or vinarna (wine cellar). Slovene beer ( pivo ) is of the Pilsner type and is usually excellent ( Lazko Zlatorog is regarded as the best), although most breweries also produce temno pivo (literally "dark beer"), a Guinness-like stout. The local wine ( vino ) is either crno (red) or belo (white) and has an international reputation: dry whites like Lazki rizling and Ljutomercan are regularly found on Western supermarket shelves; the less common and more refined Sipon and Halozan are worth seeking out. Best of the reds are the light Cvicek and the dark, dry Kraski teran . Favourite aperitifs include slivovka (plum brandy), vilijemovka (pear brandy), the fiery sadjevec , a brandy made from various fruits, and the gin-like juniper-based brinovec .
