All about jenever

Ever wondered about the origins of the famous gin and tonic cocktail? Head on down to the Jenever Museum in Schiedam, because that’s where its foundations were laid. Immerse yourself in the world of this classic Dutch drink, learn how it is brewed and look for the secret recipe in the Jenever escape room. Never tasted it before? Take part in a tasting session (R18) and discover why so many people (in Holland anyway) refer to this clear liquid as an angel peeing on your tongue! You can watch the distillers at work on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Gin Museum and Branderij De Gekroonde Brandersketel:

Lange Haven 74, Schiedam.

Open: Tues-Sun 11.00 – 17.00.

MAKING PREMIUM FRAGRANCE ACCESSIBLE

In the high-end perfume industry, only 1% of the retail price is typically spent on ingredients, with most of the cost going towards marketing and disposable packaging. Brands often maintain exclusivity through inflated pricing. Rotterdam-based Ascent is challenging this model, aiming to transform how perfumes are made, used and sold. The company has revolutionised packaging with a reusable aerospace-grade aluminium case, designed to be refilled with any of their fragrances. These scents are vegan, cruelty-free and have an organic base. With up to 40% perfume oil, the fragrances are long-lasting. Ascent is committed to inclusivity, striving to make premium perfumes accessible to all.

JULES BOULES BITES BAR

Boules, drinks and fun, that’s pretty much what you can expect at Jules Boules Bites Bar near De Kuip football stadium. Sometimes, simply eating is just too boring – you also want to have some action! Go on one of the eleven jeu de boules courts to conjure up your most beautiful throw while enjoying a great snack and cocktail. If you prefer to take it easy, of course you can also enjoy lunch or dinner on the terrace, without engaging in a game. Also ideal as a group outing where urban vibes and Burgundian pleasure are perfectly combined!
