==Drinking traditions== Traditionally, the drink is served in a tulip-shaped glass filled to the brim, with the surface tension enabling the jenever to rise higher than the glass's edge. ''Jonge jenever'', colloquially a ''jonkie'' ("young'un"), is usually served at room temperature, sometimes (though this is now quite old-fashioned) with some sugar and a tiny spoon to stir. The drink is sometimes served cold from a bottle kept in a freezer or on the rocks (''jonge met ijs''). The higher-quality ''oude jenever'' (and ''korenwijn'') is usually served at room temperature. When jenever is drunk alongside beer (normally lager) as a chaser, it is referred to as a ''kopstoot'' (headbutt), when the glass of jenever is dipped into the beer glass, it is called a ''[[U-Boot (beer cocktail)|duikboot]]'' (submarine) in Flanders and the South of Holland. Traditionally, jenever is served in full shot-glasses taken directly from the freezer. As the glass is very full, it is advisable to take the first sip without holding the glass, leaving it on the table, and bending one's back to apply one's mouth to the glass.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://bespokeunit.com/spirits/jenever/#serve | title=What is Jenever & How to Drink It: Top 10 Best Dutch Gin }}</ref>
