Hamburg-born, Amsterdam-based Laura Schacht is a 10-year craft bartending veteran and booze educator who now brings her expertise to DeKuyper Royal Distillers (owner of Rutte Distillery), which has joined forces with other genever producers in the Netherlands and Belgium in a massive effort to promote the spirit in the U.S. Laura is a driving force behind that initiative and the American market will be better for it. Amsterdam has become one of my favorite cities in which to imbibe—thanks to all of Laura’s bar recommendations! This is the second installment of my three-part genever miniseries.
