Comment:

This very Dutch celebratory cocktail is made using Dutch Ketel One vodka, Dutch orange curacao, Dutch-made King’s Ginger liqueur. The all-important orange hue and subtle flavour comes from carrot juice. For the truly orange King's Day experience make with 50% Ketel One vodka and 50% Ketel One Oranje, or even replace vodka with 100% Ketel One Oranje.

About:

Created by Simon Difford in April 2015 in celebration of Koningsdag, a festival held in the Netherlands on 27th April each year when the Dutch dress in orange and party to commemorate their monarch’s birthday. Any excuse to party!
