What Happened When I Tried Speculoos Alcohol

Speculoos Alcohol

You people are terrible… I confess my terrible struggle with Speculoos addiction to you and what do you do? How do you help me? Do you offer words of encouragement? Do you organise surprise interventions? Do you help me through the difficult stages of Speculoos withdrawal? No. You find even more speculoos products for me to become addicted to.

“Hey Stuart. Did you know you can get chunky Speculoos spread too?”

“Have you tried this Speculoos ice-cream? It is so good.”

“Would you like a Speculoos Easter Egg Stuart?”

“Stuart! You simply must try this Speculoos pasta sauce!”

Ok, I might have made that last one up but that does not make my point any less valid.

Some of you have even sent me ‘free samples’ likes some kind of Speculoos drug dealer trying to get me hooked on the latest Speculoos product, each of you trying to find the strangest and weirdest Speculoos/random food combination possible.

And what is the latest product you have found? What is the newest thing you are all trying to get me addicted too?…

Speculoos Alcohol!

Great! Now my Speculoos problem is in danger of becoming a drinking problem… I never thought Speculoos would be able to give me liver damage. Thanks a bunch.

Stuart

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

    Dragon Lady – What do you mean? I have self control…. Ow, a cookie!

    Deefian – It’s kind of good in a scary way.

    Perovskia – I might have to at least give it it’s own category

    iooryz – Giving me this kind of information is dangerous

    The Wife – I thought I was the addict…

    I’d down a shot or two of cookie spread liquor, for sure! It seems speculoos is at the height of its heyday but hopefully it doesn’t get out of control like pumpkin spice flavored everything did last year.

    @The wife
    In January, the weduwe is releasing a Koorenwijn based beerenburg that has been laying in their storehouse for 15 years in a wooden keg. It’s for their 150 year anniversary. I’m expecting it to be going fast..

  5. I actually have seen Speculoos booze in French supermarkets, sold as a liqueur to flavor other drinks. :P
