Feel free to pour as much or as little pelinkovac into your glass as you want to drink. To enjoy a small amount, just fill a shotglass.

If you’re adding ice, wait to add the cubes until you’re ready to begin drinking the pelinkovac. If the ice sits too long, the pelinkovac will be too watery.

For a slight citrus flavor, peel a lemon, lime, or orange twist and add it to the pelinkovac.

If you dislike the herbal aftertaste, suck on the citrus wedge or sip a little water.

Use orange-flavored vodka for an extra citrusy tasting cocktail.

For a simple garnish, stick a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.

If you can’t find Punt e Mes, mix 2 parts of sweet vermouth with 1 part of Campari. Then, measure out 1⁄2  fl oz (15 mL) to use in the cocktail.

You can also add a lemon wedge to the toddy to give it a bright, citrus flavor.

Stir the cocktail for 20 to 30 seconds so the ice dilutes the cocktail slightly and blends the ingredients.
