Review:
Genever provides a bready spirituous base while triple sec adds a zesty citrus bite to this honey sour. In keeping with its Anchor name, peaty malt and saline solution add a subtle marine element.
History:
Inspired by De Kuyper's anchor in a heart logo, I created this cocktail in March 2020 for De Kuyper Royal Distillers' 325th anniversary. However, the COVID-19 pandemic scuppered De Kuyper's anniversary celebrations, so this cocktail stayed in my notes until April 2024, when I was looking for a cocktail to honour the retirement of Mark de Witte, CEO of De Kuyper Royal Distillers. I've been lucky enough to have counted Mark as a friend since I met him in 2013. Happy retirement, Mark.
