Jay, that’s a marvelous recipe, I am now a Genever convert. Phillip, yours is a great contrast, also very fine!

I had a Holland House earlier this year whilst visiting the new Bols exhibition in Amsterdam.

On returning I purchased a litre of Corenwijn from the duty free which is similar to Oude Jenever but with a more malty taste. I made a Holland House at home with the Corenwijn and I have to say I think I prefer it to the Genever version.

Philipp – The recipe is a loose approximation based on what I remember the bartender using, and a quick Google to check I hadn’t forgotten any ingredients. Carpano and genever sounds like a lovely combination, I will be giving that a try tonight.

I have a different recipe for the Drink.
That was my first Drink with Bols Genever and I think it’s really good:

Holland’s Pride
===========
4cl Genever
2cl Vermouth sweet (Carpano)
2dashes Orange Bitters
2dashes Plain Syrup

Serve in a Absinth coated glas.

Mine is from David Embury’s book.
Where is yours from, Jay?

Have to try your version soon.

[...] While in Amsterdam, he visited Herrie and the barkeep gave him the libation he shares with us: the Holland House [...]

Jay,

“Malty Aviation” was enough to get me to try it. I found that the genever works fashionably in a Hot Gin Sling as well.
