Origins of the Dutch Trade Winds Cocktail

The origins of the Dutch Trade Winds cocktail can be traced back to the 17th century when the Netherlands was one of the world's leading trading powers. The Dutch East India Company, also known as VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie), played a significant role in global trade during this time, establishing colonies and trading posts across Asia, Africa, and South America.

As part of their trading activities, Dutch merchants brought back exotic spices, fruits, and other ingredients from their overseas territories. These ingredients were often used to create unique dishes and beverages that blended European culinary traditions with local flavors.

One such creation was the Dutch Trade Winds cocktail, which combines traditional Dutch gin with tropical fruit juices such as pineapple and orange. The addition of lime juice adds a tangy twist to this sweet and fruity concoction.
