# Jenever Cocktail >

What's in it: Jenever (the Dutch ancestor of gin) served either neat in a tulip glass at room temperature, or in a mixed drink. Brands: Bols, Filliers, Hooghoudt.
Where it's from: The Low Countries, 1500s. Gin existed because the British copied jenever. Hand on heart.
When to drink it: Old Dutch brown bars (bruine kroegen). Especially with a beer chaser — kopstootje, 'little head-butt'.
The case: The original. Gin owes everything to it and gives nothing back. Drink it where it came from, with a beer chaser, like the Dutch intended.
