Cannabaceae

Poster by Henri Privat-Livemont (1901)

Bols is a brand name used by Lucas Bols, a Dutch distiller of alcoholic beverages. The brand line currently consists of vodkas, gins, genevers, advocaats and liqueurs. Bols has been extant since 1575, and claims to be the oldest distillery brand in the world.[1] The brand is now distributed in 110 countries, and the liqueur line has over 30 different flavors. As the result of an earlier divestiture, in Eastern Europe the Bols brand is owned by Maspex.

It is Ray Charles's choice of drink in the movie Ray.[2]

There are certain cocktails that are used bols like:

  • Indonesian "Bamblabana" (vodka, eviation, lime, ginger and hot pepper sos),
  • Norway "Dverg" (vodka, heavy cream, cherry juice),
  • Greece "Bolz" (vodka, fig juice, pomegranate juice, bourbon, lemon)

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
