Instructions

The Dutch Royal Glory is a visually striking layered cocktail that embodies the patriotic spirit of the Netherlands. Capturing the essence of the Dutch flag and the royal family, this drink boasts the red, white, and blue colors of the flag, with a touch of orange to represent the House of Orange-Nassau. Utilizing traditional Dutch ingredients, including a lesser-known regional spirit, this cocktail is not only a tribute to Dutch heritage but also a celebration of its flavors. It's designed to be prepared in advance in bulk, with a simple finishing touch that adds a dash of royal flair before serving. Glass: Highball Glass Ingredients: - Bottom Layer (Red): 30 ml Sloe Gin – A nod to the traditional flavors, dyed with a bit of grenadine for an enhanced red color. - Middle Layer (White): 45 ml Jonge Jenever – The heart of the cocktail, representing the white in the flag. This clear, juniper-flavored spirit is a Dutch classic. - Top Layer (Blue): 30 ml Blue Curacao – For the vibrant blue top layer, adding a sweet orange flavor that ties beautifully with the overall Dutch theme. - A Dash of Orange Bitters – Referencing the Royal family's color, to be added in the final step. - Sparkling Water – To finish and add some fizz, without disturbing the layers. - Garnish: Orange Peel Twist & a small Dutch flag pick. Preparation in Advance: 1. Prepare the Red Layer: Mix the sloe gin with a bit of grenadine to achieve a bright red color. Pour it into the bottom of the glass. Gently place a few ice cubes on top to maintain the layers. 2. Prepare the White Layer: Slowly pour the Jonge Jenever over the back of a spoon to layer it over the red without mixing. 3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Lastly, carefully layer the Blue Curacao over the Jonge Jenever using the same technique. 4. These layered cocktails can be prepared up to this point and stored in a cold area or a refrigerator until ready to serve. Just Before Serving: 1. Gently pour a dash of orange bitters over the top layer to add a subtle royal touch. 2. Top with a splash of sparkling water to fill, ensuring not to disturb the layered effect. 3. Garnish with an orange peel twist and a small Dutch flag pick for an eye-catching presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of Dutch pride in every sip of the Dutch Royal Glory.
