Self-guided Bols audio tour in Amsterdam plus a pro cocktail workshop. Learn 450-year genever distilling history, then make 2 to 3 drinks.
“The Bols cocktail experience and workshop was fantastic. informative, fun, good value. The balance of bols tour and cocktail making was just right. We were given a 25% shot bottle on entry to be drunk in the mirror booth part way through the tour. Nice bar in which you enjoy your included cocktail, choice of any on menu, or you can ask mixologist to make you their own concoction. The workshop was good fun too.. we made a passion fruit martini and a lime/gin based drink with added liquers of your own choosing. We really enjoyed this tour, highly recommend.”
