At the Bols Cocktail Experience on Paulus Potterstraat, you can explore the story of Bols liqueurs through a self-guided, interactive visit. Taste and smell your way through the displays, learn about flavours and cocktail-making, then finish with an included cocktail of your choice. A cocktail workshop adds a hands-on option, with classes that can include making three drinks. The venue is close to the Moco Museum, Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum, so it fits easily into a museum day in Amsterdam.
A self-guided journey through Bols
The experience introduces the Bols liqueur range and the history of the genever brewery. You can move through the rooms at your own pace, using the free audio guide as you go. Interactive activities bring flavour into focus, including tasting and scent tests that invite you to identify what you are sampling.
Lockers are available for your belongings. The visit combines displays with hands-on elements, so there is more to do than read about the drinks.
Cocktails and workshops
At the end of the route, choose an included cocktail at the bar. The experience also has cocktail-making workshops led by instructors. Some classes involve making three cocktails, giving you time to learn about the drinks as well as taste them.
The venue is on Paulus Potterstraat, close to the Moco Museum, Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum. That makes it straightforward to pair the visit with the nearby museums. An I amsterdam card can reduce the entry cost.
