Which Drinks are Popular in Amsterdam?

When you’re in Amsterdam, you’ve got to try Genever, the legendary Dutch spirit known as the ‘grandfather of gin.’ Sip it neat or mix it into classic cocktails like the Dutch Negroni or a refreshing Genever and Tonic. Embrace the essence of Amsterdam and raise a glass of this traditional gem. When it comes to popular alcoholic drinks, beer takes centre stage in the Netherlands. From crisp lagers to bold ales, Dutch breweries serve up a wide array of flavorful brews. Raise a pint of Heineken, Grolsch or a local craft beer, and join the lively Dutch beer scene. For a touch of sweetness, indulge in Advocaat, a traditional Dutch liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy. Savour it straight or mix it into creamy Advocaat cocktails for a decadent treat. Locals are also great fans of Long Island Iced Tea. It's a spirited blend of vodka, rum, tequila, gin, triple sec, cola, and sour mix that's sure to pack a punch!
