berenia Posted September 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I went on Holland years ago. My favorite drink was a Holland special called a flying dutchman. It was red and I know it had gin in it. Does anyone know what the ingredients are? I would love to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboat Posted September 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Sorry, I'm not sure which version they served aboard HAL ships, but here are a couple of recipes. I suggest you try 6 of each and see which one you like better. :) 2 oz. gin 1 tsp. Pernod 2 oz.gin 1/2 oz. triple sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did find a recipe which seems to combine, at least the spirit, of these two: 3 oz. Gin 1 tsp. Dutch Curacao Dash of Orange Bitters :D -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmorejj Posted September 13, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2004 But none of those recipes would make a red drink, are you sure you weren`t looking through red eye balls!!!....jean :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted September 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2004 LOL at the red eye balls!:D I googled it and found most of the recipes are gin and triple sec which makes it white. Maybe Hal put in some grenadine? Another thought, maybe Sloe Gin was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted September 14, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I did see one that used Curacao. Maybe that was it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted September 14, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Maybe it was Jenever (Dutch Gin) and Campari. That would make anyone fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berenia Posted September 15, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Although things did get very hazy... they weren't to start with. I suppose it could have just had grenadine in it. Thank you all for the help in trying to figure it out. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
