Antique Pelinkovac Herbal Liqueur is an authentic, unique, & original Croatian bitter/digestif created by Franjo Pokorny in 1862
It is a story of loss & rediscovery- the original recipe was lost during WWII but rediscovered in early 2000 & relaunched in 2012 using the original bottle
The word “Pelin” in Pelinkovac means wormwood in Croatian- the dominating botanical and flavor profile of Antique
40+ Mediterranean Herbs/botanicals go into the making of Antique using the same recipe from 1862
Batch processed in cold maceration tanks + traditional copper pot distillation- all natural, no artificial ingredients
Antique has exceptional balance with bitter sweet notes with a complex layer of aromas making it the perfect cocktail ingredient for classic or bespoke cocktails
