Onder het genot van een “pikketanissie” kunt u al het geleerde op elkaar oefenen en geloof ons, dat valt niet mee!
Ik veronderstel dat het een drank moet zijn zoals bv Oude Klare?

shot of Dutch gin
Jenever is often referred to as Dutch gin (cf Google).
For the Dutch meaning of the word, see for example:
http://www.cafenolamsterdam.nl/Site/Jenever/tabid/68/Default...
Jenever
Meest gangbaar voor jenever is de term 'borrel', maar daarnaast zijn ook benamingen als 'hassebassie', 'keiltje', 'neutje', 'pikketanussie', 'recht op en neer' en 'slokkie' in gebruik.
http://www.dagtripdoen.nl/musea/jenevermuseum-schiedam.html
Borrel, neut, pikketanussie of een jonge met ijs. Jenever heeft vele namen en liefhebbers.

Do you know what a pikketanussie is? You probably do; it is a Dutch gin.

Jenever — Dutch gin — is a potentially lethal concoction made from molasses ... recht op en neer (straight up), pikketanussie

Note to asker. Don't know why it didn't work. Works when I click it. There are other sites with the same video. It was a competition run by Het Parool. Have to close down now (Friday p.m.!) so can't search another for you.

Kortom, om wat specifieker op je vraag in te gaan: een borrel of neut in het algemeen (dus niet een specifieke drank).

Anyway, I forgot to insert the English translation (oh dear, how foolish): drop, stiffener, tot, thimbleful
borrel, neut, keiltje, hassebassie

: Wel degelijk specifiek!!! Het is de oude Amsterdamse benaming voor Jenever. //Vraag in een A'dams café om een pikketanussie en je krijgt jenever!

Jawel, maar nu wordt het toch in het algemeen voor 'een borrel' gehanteerd?
|
|
| agree |
Iris Shalev
: Volgens mij wordt het nu inderdaad algemeen bedoeld - het gaat meer om de taal, en minder om welke drank het nu precies is, toch?
