On the Green
a Garnished with Good initiative

Bar: Fitz's Bar Amsterdam

With "On the Green," we aim to support a national golfing foundation. This initiative is deeply personal for me as I rediscovered my love for golf just a year ago. Growing up in Spain, I played golf from the age of 10 until the age of 13. After moving back to The Netherlands, I had to let this passion go due to financial constraints.

However, once I found the golf foundation, I was determined to ensure that every person would have the chance to experience the joy and benefits of golf. Recognizing the financial hurdles many families face not being able to afford to play golf, I embarked on creating a cocktail to support golf programs. We raise awareness and funds through sales of this cocktail, making golf more accessible to all. This initiative not only fosters community engagement but also sparks interest in the sport. By directing proceeds towards these golf programs, we not only nurture skill development but also impart invaluable life lessons.

Additionally, we have been trying to maintain our awareness around the created serve. We've made a cordial with "Bijenbaas" honey, which gives back 1m2 to nature per sold jar of honey. We're also adding our brut tea infusion, for which we are using our house champagne Telmont, which has the goal of being the most carbon-neutral champagne.
