Making Cocktails w/ Genever

DSC00425-4.jpg

Genever was one of the most important spirits in the early days of the craft cocktail, so its nice to see it coming back to the forefront of the bar world. We recently got our hands on a bottle of Old Duff Genever, an authentic Dutch Genever, and decided to make one of our favorite cocktails. It adds the vibrant notes of fruit and rich herbal to the natural malty character of beautifully made Genever.
