Product Information

The Bols family began producing Dutch genever in 1664. Amsterdam’s existence as a trading city in the 1600s gave Bols access to many spices, herbs, and fruits. The Bols genever recipe was recreated in 1820 using a complex mix of botanicals. And while its barrel-aged genever launched internationally in 2010, Bols started resting genever on oak – French Limousin oak, to be exact – in 1883. By the way, genever is not the same as gin Margaritas are a popular choice for many people who drink them, but they can also be pretty dull in color. They're usually either red or orange due to the colors of their flavorings (usually Cointreau). But if you want your margarita to take on different hues than just those two ones and have it still taste as good, try using Blue Curaçao instead! Add this sweet liqueur into your usual recipe for a Blue Margarita with an exception - its beautiful blue shade will give guests something new to look at while sipping away. Ingredients
