Saturday night cocktail. I'm calling it, K-Pop You Saturday night cocktail. I'm calling it, K-Pop Your Cherry. 
Recipe:
2 oz @bombaysapphireus gin
.75 oz @maraska_zadar Maraschino Cherry Liquor 
.5 oz @vonbee.official Cherry Pear Puree
.75 oz lemon juice
1 each @luxardoofficial Luxardo cherry for garnish 
Instructions: Add all ingredients to an @elevatedcraft shaker with ice and shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a coupe glass and garnish with a @luxardousa cherry. 
I found the Vonbee Cherry Pear Puree at my local @costco. It's from Korea, and when I saw it, I thought "cocktails." It's sweeter than you might expect,  so go easy with it.

Meat, meat, and more meat. Dinner in Zagreb at @ma Meat, meat, and more meat. Dinner in Zagreb at @magazinska_klet included several different types of house made sausages, roasted potatoes and mushrooms, white beans, freshly baked bread, and salads. So tasty but too much food for the two of us (this was a platter "for two"). Do let the fact that the outside looks like a car repair shop dissuade you.
