Yield: 1 cocktail
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 3 dash Angostura Bitters; 23 ml Genever; 1 Maraschino Cherry; 23 ml Campari; 23 ml Sweet Vermouth; 23 ml Batavia Arrack

Campari, sweet vermouth, genever and Batavia arrack, stirred and served in a coupe with a maraschino cherry. Bittersweet and spirit-forward, with Angostura bitters adding spice.

Frederic Yarm created the Dutch Hand in Boston in 2020, taking the Right Hand from Milk & Honey and its offshoots, such as the Tres Hands, as a starting point. The drink pairs genever with Batavia arrack, a nod to the Netherlands' long history of distilling genever and importing arrack since the days of the Dutch East India Company. That trade continues today through rum merchants such as E&A Scheer.
