Holland Gin Cocktail

Visit AwesomeDrinks.com for glassware and more!

Holland Gin, it's really a historical naming convention as the gin from holland isn't the gin we're used to hearing about today. Once upon a time, gin imported to America was brought from Holland and taste like what we now call Genever. It's not a juniper-centric spirit, but something entirely different. Odd how times change and products become something completely different.

Today, we bring back the historic holland gin in a recipe that uses two ancient spirits in the form of absinthe and genever. Taste a bit of history.
