Weekend tip: Oppo Ice Cream Cocktail pop-up in the Tunes Bar Conservatorium Hotel
Have you really absorbed the title of this piece? Because it is - especially with the beautiful weather - very appropriate! Ice cream + cocktails in one of the most beautiful hotels in Amsterdam - everything we love. And why not make a combination of the two. That is exactly what they do at the Tunes Bar (coincidence does not exist, you might say). From 23 to 26 May you can enjoy cocktails with ice at a super fun-you-must-go-to pop-up cocktail bar.
And it's not just any ice cream. What do you think... It's Oppo ice cream (if you're not familiar with it, we'll explain it below)! Oppo ice cream in a cocktail? We'll fill you in.
Oppo ice cream has been a favorite here for a while now. It's ice cream that's low in calories. Not that we're afraid of calories, but in this case it simply means that we can eat more ice cream for less. That's, basicaly, just smart thinking. Enough about that, on to the Tunes Bar in the Conservatory Hotel. There you can enjoy two cocktails containing the new Oppo ice cream flavors in the coming days during the Oppo Ice Cream Cocktail pop up. The flavors? Speculoos Crunch en Raspberry Vanilla. The house mixologist has worked with these flavors with two exciting cocktails as the end result. And it keeps getting better: the cocktails are nicely priced at €12,50 per cocktail (you'll be busy for a while).
It's all in the name they sometimes say, and that also applies here: the cocktails were given the names Oppo Gangnamstyle en No! Sugar Sugar. We can totally picture it.
Not you? No problem, here they are: The Oppo Gangnamstyle is a fresh summer cocktail with Oppo Raspberry & Vanilla and the surprising flavors of Japanese Nikka Coffey Gin, Korean Wihayo Soju and Yuzu Juice. The No! Sugar Sugar has Oppo Speculoos as a base, with Japanese Teeda Y5 rum, lime juice, Angarusta bitters and ginger beer. Try saying no to that.
Please pay attention, otherwise you will miss those cocktails because the opening hours are strict and as follows:
Thursday: 16:00 – 01:00
Friday: 12:30 AM – 02:00 PM
Saturday: 12:30 AM - 02:00 PM
Sunday: 12:30 – 00:00
The cocktails can be enjoyed from 23 to 26 May. We can already see ourselves sitting on the terrace of the Tunes Bar this weekend with the nice weather. If you miss this, Tunes Bar is definitely recommended to drink a cocktail. Ice or no ice!
