June 2nd, 2021 - This week, Zagreb got its own gin park in Rougemarin Park! 

As Journal.hr reports, after winning over many visitors with a great chef’s offer, a new hit spot in the city, Rougemarin Park, from this week brings a whole new menu and new treats for all gin lovers. An extremely aromatic drink, which was initially used as a medicine and sold in pharmacies, is today one of the most popular drinks combined with refreshing tonics and numerous spices. In anticipation of World Gin Day, Rougemarin hosts the Gin Park, an offer and menu of drinks and food designed based on the characteristics and ingredients of famous gins.

As the basis of gin are pines with the addition of spices, all visitors will be able to enjoy gins that differ in flavors, aromas, and spices, and will be presented by top gin connoisseurs such as Marko Benković, who creates drinks with completely new and refreshing flavors. Gin is usually drunk in combination with tonics and spices, which leaves countless creative possibilities. Chef Marin Medak in Gin Park has designed a special offer of specialties that go well with many gin combinations.

With each combination, you will choose foods that will further enhance the flavors and raise the entire gastronomic experience to a new level of enjoyment with special aromas, spices, and flavors. Spices play a special role in the story of gin. If you have ever wondered what specialties go with this aromatic drink, in Rougemarin Park, you will find an offer created especially for this occasion: beef skewer sprinkled with a mixture of spices made of coriander, pine, chili, and lemon zest, served on a salad of bulgur, cucumber, and tomato.
