episode 183: How to Drink Liqueurs with Jamie Campbell, Bols Brand Experience Manager
Would you be surprised to learn that the liqueurs you love might be over 400 years old? I mean the recipe. Bols Distillery in Amsterdam has been producing liqueurs since the 16th C, so how perfect to have the Bols Brand Experience Manager teach us how to drink liqueurs!
I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is, Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time.
My friend Jamie Campbell was a guest on Lush Life previously, but that was before he donned the title of Bols Brand Experience Manager. Now we talk all day about how much we love liqueur-based cocktails. Those lovely dessert cocktails, the Martinez, and the herbal hot toddies are all made with liqueurs. It’s a vast category and perfect to examine in this, my How to Drink, season.
But before we get started, just a heads up that The cocktail of the week is coming up right after we chat to Jamie. If you live in the UK and want to buy any of the spirits I talk about, then head on over to Spiritskiosk.com, where you, as a Lush Life listener, will receive 10% off the entire site by quoting this code: ALushLife10SK.
