Bajkini, 16 June 2025 – Rossi Distillery from Bajkini, near Vižinada in Istria, has launched a new ready-to-drink beverage in collaboration with Dalmatian soft drink brand Pipi.
The product, named Teranino Orange x Pipi, is now available on the Croatian market.
The drink combines Teranino Rossi, a liqueur made from Istrian teran grapes, with Pipi’s orange-flavoured soda.
According to the producers, the beverage is designed for convenience and aligns with current trends in the ready-to-drink category, which has seen increased global interest, especially among younger consumers.
Teranino Rossi is made using maceration of forest fruits and selected spices. Its flavour profile includes elements such as blueberry, citrus, cinnamon and clove.

The addition of orange soda aims to create a balanced mix intended for consumption as an aperitif or a light cocktail.
This marks Rossi Distillery’s second ready-to-drink cocktail following the Teranino Spritz, which combined Teranino, lemon juice, and sparkling water.
“Teranino has shown good potential for cocktails and lighter mixed drinks,” said Filip Rossi, who manages the distillery with his brothers Marko and Luka. “This new product expands our range of low-alcohol craft beverages.”

Rossi Distillery was named Best Croatian Distillery at the Frankfurt International Trophy earlier this year.
Teranino Orange x Pipi is distributed in can format and is expected to be available throughout the summer season.
