Mixing it up with De Kuyper

Hard Rock Cafe recently hosted a mixology workshop for De Kuyper Royal Distillers, the world’s number one producer of liqueurs. De Kuyper  ‘Global Flying Ambassador’,  Mr Peet Warmerdam,  made a dramatic entrance and  wowed the crowd with his entertaining and informative workshop; shaking, mixing and blending in a frenzy of cocktail making accompanied by a running commentary of helpful bar tips and tricks. The participants were  captivated by his skill and the eventful workshop in which he presented some of his international award winning cocktails, and shared some of the secrets that have made him a cocktail legend..

The art of blending  aside, the key to an exceptional cocktail is the use of premium ingredients and De Kuyper is renowned for using only the best quality natural ingredients in its liqueurs and other distilled products, which are distributed in over 100 countries. De Kuyper brings you the Blue Curacao in a Blue Illusion, the Triple Sec in a Margarita and their  Creme de Cacao is the base for any self respecting chocolate cocktail.

The Dutch company is still family run and celebrated its 300th anniversary in 1995, and in the same year was awarded the title ‘Royal’ by her majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. I guess you could say that a cocktail made with De Kuyper Liqueurs , is fit for a queen! \AB
