Beer cocktails at Mercure Den Haag Central

Beer cocktails are a thing, says Ahmin Swalef who manages the bar at Mercure Den Haag Central. In fact the bar’s signature cocktail features beer, using a pilsner from local brewer Kompaan.

To make it at home:

– Fill a balloon glass with ice

– Add 50ml of Van Kleef jenever, 20ml of tripe sec, 10ml of honey and 15ml lime juice to a shaker then shake

– Strain into the glass

– Top up with 50ml of Kompaan pilsner

– Garnish with mint and a wedge of lime

– Enjoy!
