dutch lover

1 1/2 oz Barrel-Aged Bols Genever
1/2 oz Luxardo Amaro Abano
3/4 oz Grenadine
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1 dash Cardamom Bitters (The Bitter Housewife)

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass.Two Mondays ago, I uncovered a collection of online recipe flashcards from Hodges Bend in St. Paul, Minnesota. There, the Dutch Lover called out to me for it reminded me of a Genever-Abano version of the gin-Cynar Giuseppe's Lady, and I was able to find mentions of the drink in a 2018 Lavender Magazine article and also on a Yelp menu that same year. In the glass, the Dutch Lover welcomed the senses with dark red berry, malty, and lime aromas in the glass. Next, lime, caramel, and red fruit on the sip cruised into malty Genever, caramel, herbal, black pepper, and cardamom flavors on the swallow.
