GOING DUTCH
In The Spirit
The Dutch are famous for three things: windmills, artists (Van Gogh, Rembrandt), and Ketel One® vodka.
Since Van Gogh is dead and windmills have been shunned as a sensible solution to our global energy crisis, Ketel One is the brightest torch carried by Netherlanders everywhere. The newest incarnation of their beloved brand–Ketel One Oranje™–is a super-premium vodka with the essence of natural orange zest.
We know what you’re saying: “Hey, EATERAZ, someone pay for that last line? That sounds sales-pitchy.” Sure we took it from the marketing material’s but the thing is, the bright orange profile and hints of warm spice don’t taste like some sticky additive that actually needs to be covered up with tonic or Red Bull. It’s actually good. This stuff’s great on the rocks, with nothing else added.
A bottle costs about $25 and is hitting liquor stores right now.
Today’s post comes with a language lesson as well: Ketel One Oranje is pronounced “Oh-RON-yah.” No joke. So Ron, wherever and whoever you are, here’s to you, buddy.
