This cocktail owes its cheeky name to its sexy scarlet color and its naughty alcohol content, with splashes of both jenever (Dutch gin) and orange liqueur. Calling jenever Dutch gin is a retronym, but I’ve done so purely for clarity. After all, gin originated in Holland. Genever was introduced to England by King William III, who was a Prince of Orange (the Dutch Royal Family) by birth, before he became the King of England. The British, with their love of abbreviations, changed the name jenever to gin. (There are many brands of Dutch gin, but the most common for Americans is probably the Ketel brand.)

A very refreshing way to kick up a cold beer. I must say I’ve experimented with many Gin and beer mixes. This is excellent and Stella (I enjoy the juniper in this one) then with Amsterdam Gin (with its citrus notes) is almost as good maybe just as good Depending on what you are looking for. The gin is a wonderful garnish but go ahead and add a lime, orange or whatever you enjoy.
I first tasted this great cocktail in Bruges, Belgium. I was so thrilled when I discovered this drink even existed, because i really enjoy champagne and raspberry beer, but I never thought of putting both together. Beleive me, this is really tasty, it is fruity, bubbly and refreshing. Champagne can be substituted by any dry sparkling wine.
This hot chocolate recipe is a sumptuous Belgian luxury that any chocolate lover will love. The true gourmet will serve this hot chocolate with a dollop of whipped cream and might just go straight to heaven.
