FIRST: CANDY FESTIVAL LAUNCHES SPECIAL FRIKANDEL SHOT
“When you burp, you can still taste the onions.” Rotterdam shot of Frikandel Speciaal, a national hit.
For 69 years, the frikandel speciaal has been a staple in Dutch (fried) cuisine. The most famous is undoubtedly the frikandel speciaal, which is topped with mayonnaise, curry or ketchup, and onions. Soon, the frikandel speciaal will also be available as a shot for every daredevil who loves this snack. Distillery Onrust Stokers and Candyfestival.nl came up with the fun idea of creating a shot with the flavor of frikandel speciaal. The shot is alcohol-free. The drink can be ordered now at www.candyfestival.nl .
The frikandel was launched in Dordrecht in 1954 and has been the most popular snack in the Netherlands for years. It's also the only snack with its own holiday on February 4th. Candyfestival.nl , an online store specializing in extreme sweets, approached the Onrust Stokers to develop this playful shot. "We currently import extreme taste sensations, mostly from Japan and America, so why not create something homegrown?"
The playful idea for developing a shot immediately appealed to Onrust Stokers owner Stefan: "We've been approached for collaborations several times in recent years, but it never really suited our business operations, but I thought a frikandel special shot would be a really fun challenge. Especially because it had to be a non-alcoholic drink, the challenge was significant. Normally, we capture flavors in the alcohol during distillation; for this drink, we used a completely different method, but I can't say too much about that," says Stefan Hees, co-owner and frikandel enthusiast of Onrust Stokers.
In short, reserve your shot now. Cheers!
