My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Amsterdam from Canada and desperately searching for a “pickle back” a North American shot. We read online they may have one. Unfortunately when we got there we were informed their ’pickle guy’ was away so no juice for the drink we wanted.
This however did not take away from the experience at all, knowing they sourced a product directly kinda made us like it more! We sat at the bar and each ordered an espresso martini which was top notch, but the interaction with our bartender was what sealed the experience for us, he was hospitable while still with a bit of a European flare not typical seen in North American establishments. We returned two nights later with other traveling friends and had a really fantastic time enjoying the cocktails and the atmosphere.
