IJsbreker: peppermint liqueur dreamt up on a freezing night

Six friends in a pub, one freezing winter night and an idea that became premium peppermint liqueur.

Some brands are born on a whiteboard, others simply in the pub. IJsbreker belongs to the second category: six friends, a freezing winter night, and a conversation that ended up asking why no good peppermint liqueur existed anymore.

The answer became IJsbreker: a premium peppermint liqueur meant to be both refreshing and refined - not the sweet, sticky drink of the past, but something you take seriously at a party.

The name was chosen carefully. IJsbreker is meant to break the ice and get a conversation going - something a good drink has always done in Utrecht's pub culture.

Refreshing, refined and connecting, as the makers themselves put it. That fits perfectly with the conviviality Utrecht is known for.

In a drinks box, this is the drink for after the main course: a small glass with a big effect on the mood.
