Piet van Leijenhorst, Master Distiller at Lucas Bols is an expert when it comes to the traditional Dutch spirit Genever.This is a totally authentic and unique drink that should be tried by anyone with an interest in gin. Substitute aged rum or whiskeys with aged Genever and I can guarantee you'd end up with a great cocktail. They couldn't easily find it, because at the time it was only being sold in the Netherlands and Belgium. and 25ml genever as a base for both a classic tom collins and gin martini yielded fairly similar results.

Vodka and tequila are key ingredients in many of the world’s most popular cocktails, from refreshing margaritas to James Bond’s iconic Vesper martini (shaken, not stirred, of course). Even though they might share some similar ingredients, gin does not deliver the complexity Genever has, because of the missing key ingredient malt spirit.Genever was a preferred spirit in cocktails back then, so why not bring it back and continue writing history?

In addition to being an impeccable spirit for drinking neat, it proved to be perfect for a new phenomenon in the USA; the cocktail.
