Boomsma Claerkampster Cloosterbitter, a Dutch herbal liqueur born in the 1400s, offers a milder yet complex flavor profile compared to Chartreuse. Bartenders increasingly favor its lower ABV, finding it pairs harmoniously with diverse spirits, especially gin. Its affordability—around $30 compared to the higher prices of Chartreuse—makes it an attractive option for cocktail enthusiasts. As bars across the U.S. embrace Cloosterbitter, it solidifies its place in the cocktail scene through innovative uses in various drinks, showcasing its versatility and rich heritage alongside traditional recipes.
Dutch-born Boomsma Claerkampster Cloosterbitter is just as pedigreed—it’s been around since the 1400s—and as nuanced in flavor, albeit milder and lower in ABV.
For me, a lower-proof herbal liqueur like Cloosterbitter works better, as it balances beautifully with Fords Gin, enhancing my classic cocktails.
In a cocktail landscape dominated by Chartreuse, Cloosterbitter offers a flavorful, versatile alternative, drawing bartenders and drink enthusiasts alike.
Bars across the country have joined the fandom. And why not? At around $30, it's at least worth a shot compared to pricier options.
