Bronchitis be damned. After two weeks in bed I need a drink. Tonight’s treat is a #Genever that I got from @parcifal last time he was in Stockholm. If you’re not familiar with Genever, it’s similar to #gin, but comes in way more variations, ranging from transparent to dark/aged, flavored, liqueur or booze. Truly a versatile drink from the Benelux region, and IMHO an underrated one. Cheers!

@jawnsy @parcifal My first encounter with a Jenever was this one: https://belgiuminabox.com/shop/jenever-genever/4024-filliers-appel-apple-jenever-genievre-70-cl.html

At the excellent "In Den Appelboom" restaurant outside of Anderlecht/Brussels. That apple flavor is by far the best I've had in any drink. Can't easily find it around here, but I'll grab a bottle or two the next time I'm in Belgium.

@anderseknert @parcifal I remember my parents talking about it from my childhood! That’s a blast from the past.

@anderseknert @parcifal (My parents came from the Netherlands to Ireland, so there are all sorts of Irish things that are still not 'mine' but at the same time, all sorts of Benelux things that I can still relate to)
