Inspiration:
Our theme revolves around time travel and magic. It is about making cocktails after a trip through time, back to the year when Bols Genever began, to find a new bar team member. When we bring him back, the fun begins! We create our cocktail together as a team, and serve it with a bit of magic, tying into the theme, and giving our guests a truly awe inspiring cocktail experience.

We want a variety of fun experiences when our customers visit the bar. We combined the ingredients of Korea and spices with flavor that cannot be experienced in Korea, to create a unique cocktail where Genever is the star.
