Hooghoudt Orange Liqueur
Hooghoudt's fresh, sweet orange liqueur, also known as Wilhelmus liqueur. At 20%, it's light enough to serve over ice and makes the easiest base for an orange drink with bubbles.
Orange in a bottle
Hooghoudt Orange Liqueur is a fresh, sweet, fruity liqueur with 20% alcohol. It's also known as Wilhelmus liqueur, and the name hints at when it most often appears on the table: around King's Day and for anything that calls for orange.
It's a true liqueur: sweet, fruity and low in alcohol, very different from the genever and Beerenburg from the same distillery. Hooghoudt intends it both for sipping neat and for mixing into a mixed drink or cocktail. A splash in sparkling wine or orange juice is all you need for a festive orange drink.
