Advice
Keep everything very cold—chilled glass, spirit, and tonic. Minimal stirring preserves carbonation and a tighter, longer-lasting fizz.
Why it works
Tonic’s quinine bite and carbonation brighten lozovača’s floral-grape aroma; lemon oils bridge citrus and herb notes while a single rosemary sprig adds coastal pine without overpowering.
Twist
Vranac Spritz: swap lozovača for 90 ml (3 fl oz) chilled Montenegrin Vranac (dry red wine), add 30 ml (1 fl oz) soda and an orange peel for a light, ruby spritz.
Status
Clean, citrusy, and sea-breeze crisp—Loza & Tonic is Montenegro’s easy highball. #grannyzen #montenegro #lozovaca
