De Kuyper Berry Genever
A modern, fresh take on Dutch berry genever, made from red currants. At 20% ABV, enjoy it ice-cold as a shot or as a long drink with Sprite, tonic, or bubbly.
Berry genever, but fresh
Berry genever is a Dutch classic: genever flavored with berries, often sweet and a little old-fashioned. De Kuyper has created a modern, fresh version made from red currants. The result is lighter and fruitier, emphasizing fresh red fruit rather than sugar.
At 20% ABV, it's much lighter than regular genever. That makes it ideal not only for a classic ice-cold shot, but also for long drinks: with 7up or Sprite, sparkling water, tonic, orange juice, or a splash of bubbly. It also works well in desserts.
