Organized by Pivara Skopje, the official distributor of premium mixers Three Cents, and in partnership with Casa Bar, a two-day event was held last week to mark Casa Bar’s recognition as the first Three Cents Paloma Embassy in Macedonia, a significant step in the development of the local bar scene.

Three Cents, a brand founded by bartenders in Athens, is known for its natural, highly carbonated drinks without preservatives, created to elevate the cocktail experience. Their Pink Grapefruit soda is a key element in the iconic Paloma cocktail, which has gained global popularity.

Casa Bar, which has had the Paloma cocktail on its seasonal menu for two years, with recipes reflecting the bar’s unique style, has now officially been recognized with this ambassador role for their contribution to the promotion of the cocktail.

A Two-Day Celebration with an Educational Focus

During the two-day events, cocktail enthusiasts enjoyed the magic of Alexandros Surbatis, the global brand ambassador of Three Cents, who, together with the Casa and Pivara Skopje team, offered a unique cocktail menu inspired by Paloma culture. The star of the evening was “The One & True Paloma,” a cocktail that perfectly represents the brand’s philosophy.

The following day, Casa hosted an exclusive masterclass, organized by Pivara Skopje, aimed at professionals and enthusiasts. The session offered insights into contemporary mixology, the significance of carbonation, and the development of Three Cents from an idea to a global brand. Vasili Kalantis, co-founder of Three Cents, expressed pride in starting a new chapter in the country with Pivara Skopje.

“We are excited about our new collaboration with Casa Bar, marking the launch of the first Three Cents Paloma embassy in the country. This partnership represents a key step in developing our premium mixers in a new market with great potential. The two-day events were a true celebration, laying the foundation for an exciting journey ahead. We strongly believe that our partners at Casa Bar will lead the Paloma trend, and we are confident that the passion and expertise of the local team will drive this vision forward. Macedonia may be small in size, but it is full of energy. It has a community of ambitious bartenders and a bar scene that confidently stands shoulder to shoulder with the most renowned global scenes,” said Kalantis.

Through this event, Pivara Skopje demonstrated its commitment to the development of bar culture, investing in partnerships that bring global trends and new experiences to Macedonian consumers.
