My new cocktail of the day……very good and I am able to special order Rutte Genever in the states but they can no longer get me Rutte dry gin….love the simple yet enjoyable blend…

I've now tried this with oude and jonge genever - for science! It makes two very different drinks, both excellent. With oude it has more depth (but you really have to like that maltiness), with jonge it's fresher, and the bitters stand out more.

This was perfect for an afternoon tipple. The mixture of the Genever and bitters gives the cocktail a decided herbal taste, but soft. Sugar syrup adds a touch of sweetness, but the gin flavour is what is front and center with this cocktail.
