Cheers to the weekend!
Even when it rains, the Glamials bring sunshine into your home! These great culinary hotspots, shopping tips and must-sees will help you get through the weekend. Enjoy it!
Enjoy Portuguese atmosphere with Licor Beirão
The number one Portuguese liqueur, Licor Beirão, is finally coming to the Netherlands! Yesterday this popular Portuguese drink was launched with a festive event, and now we can imagine ourselves in our own backyard on the Portuguese coast.
Licor Beirão is an iconic Portuguese liqueur brand that has its origins in the 19th century, 1929 to be precise. It is considered one of Portugal’s most beloved traditional liqueurs. The family recipe, which remains a closely guarded secret, combines a complex blend of herbs, seeds and plant extracts to create a unique and refined taste, with hints of cinnamon, orange blossom, caramel, and vanilla. Sounds good, não?
Licor Beirão is often drunk as an aperitif or digestif, neat, with ice or as an ingredient in cocktails. In short: plenty of options! More information about the brand can be found here. Licor Beirão can be purchased at Gall&Gall and local liquor stores for €17.39.
Please note: Not 18? Not a drop!
Enjoy a fashionable tea at WSHS Gouda
People get married, celebrate and enjoy themselves; Relais & Châteaux Orphanage Gouda stands for the good life and is known for its lavish high teas. The new signature Royal Afternoon Tea will be launched on May 30 and June 2 with a fashion show by Studio Anneloes.
Both WSHS Gouda and Studio Anneloes are connected to femininity. The boutique hotel and former orphanage was set up centuries ago by women and Studio Anneloes focuses on the power of today’s women. To launch the new season and the signature high tea, the Royal Afternoon Tea, WSHS Gouda and Studio Anneloes have now joined forces! Today the first Royal Afternoon Tea with fashion show took place, and Sunday June 2 is the second edition. So reserve your spot here quickly!
Shop to your heart’s content at Dolce & Gabbana
Iconic fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana recently opened a brand new boutique on PC Hooftstraat. The boutique has two floors where you can discover the world of Dolce&Gabbana.
The women’s collection is located on the ground floor and the men’s collection is displayed on the first floor. Both the women’s and men’s collections consist of Ready to Wear pieces, accessories, jewelry and watches. So there is something for everyone!
Viewing tips
A Dutch spring naturally also includes plenty of showers. And to hide from that, we will curl up on the couch this weekend with a glass of rosé (or Portuguese cocktail) and a bowl of popcorn within reach.
For example, in the documentary Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter, HBO Max takes you through the turbulent lives of Nick and Aaron Carter, who once starred as teen idols above many teenage beds, but in later years mainly appeared in the media due to scandals and drug problems.
On Netflix you can swoon again with the classic film Chocolat, and the critically acclaimed film La La Land will be released on Videoland this Saturday.
If you are more in the mood for a good dose of British humor: Pathé Thuis has since today shown the cinema hit Wicked Little Letters, starring Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley.
In short: plenty of fun to escape the rain with!
