Category: Traditional Dutch drinks before, during and after dinner.
Drinks before dinner. A glass Dutch or Belgian trappist beer or a glass French wine. A Frisian beerenburg (country jenever) from Friesland, a Dutch jenever, brandy or French cognac for the gentlemen. A liqueur or an advocaat (a creamy liqueur) with whipped cream for the ladies. A warm grog (hot water with sugar, lemon juice and rum) during the freezing winter days for the gentlemen and punch (raisins or plumbs on brandy) for the ladies.
Drinks during dinner. You can choose yourself from several excellent sorts of champagne, rosé, white or red wine. Mineral water with ice cubes either a common ice cold Dutch beer for barbecue or game food.
Drinks after dinner. French cognac with an hand made West Indies cigar or pipe with East Indies tobacco for the gentlemen. You can put also a cup of hot coffee with cream beside the cognac or take an Irish coffee with whiskey, brown sugar and cream. Pisang Ambon liqueur or blue Curaçao liqueur with a cigarillo or signoritas for the ladies. But you know now that smoking can be harmful for your health and that you never have to drive after drinking. Light both cigar or pipe with the traditional long oak match.
Drinks before sleeping. A tool par excellence to become sleepy is an extra heavy alcoholic drink beside or in a glass of beer, mostly jenever or brandy. Do not immediately drink it all in a short time, because then the chamber can start to dance. Also a drop liqueur, cognac or rum beside a glass beer can you make sleepy. .
Ladies prefer a cola with cognac or rum in it. A bloody mary is a cocktail based on tomato juice with vodka. Also tonic water with old or young Dutch gin, jenever or brandy on ice cubes is appreciated. Take a grog with hot water, rum, sugar and many lemon juice when you have again a cold.
