Skip the Acidophilus. Amsterdam provides its own kind of active culture.
Enjoy a takeaway that will leave you wobbling in your wooden shoes. Lucas Bols, the oldest distilled spirit brand in the world, has been cultivating the taste of Amsterdam since 1575. Perhaps best known for creating Genever, a classic Dutch alcoholic spirit, Lucas Bols continues to expand its intoxicating reign with the development of innovative liqueurs.
This year, the company is raising the bar by restocking yours with its latest creation: Bols Natural Yoghurt Liqueur. Made with the highest quality fresh yogurt, this smooth tasting liqueur manages to make drinking almost seem healthy. Enjoy it straight up, on the rocks or mixed to create a one-of-a-kind cocktail. But you can’t buy it in the United States—not yet, at least. The Bols Natural Yoghurt Liqueur has just been made available in the Netherlands, and will take a while before being shaken and stirred on our side of the pond. Make sure to stop in at the House of Bols shop on your next trip to Amsterdam and properly stock your bar with the latest liqueur from this classic Dutch brand.
