People dying after drinking illegally distilled alcohol seems to be in the news in Holland from time to time, but in Hilvarenbeek, southeast of Tilburg, they know everything about making spirits... and soft drinks. After all, some drinks are better with a good mixer or at least a chaser. This museum, which is interesting for both young and old, will teach you that both drinks happen to have the same ingredients including water, sugar and flavourings and the only real difference between them is the alcohol. This fascinating museum also has the most extensive collection of liqueurs in Europe. The old distillery and an avocat (egg liqueur) factory from 1833 are the main attractions and although the museum may seem a bit corny and old-fashioned to seasoned sightseers, it offers an interesting historical picture of both drinks.
