Geert Conard - The face behind Double Strainger

Recently, TX Distri — one of our trusted partners — invited me to contribute an article to their magazine, which reaches both hospitality professionals and enthusiasts.
I gladly accepted, and I’m excited to share it here as well, so new followers can get a glimpse of who I am and what Double Strainger is all about.

My name is Geert Conard. By day, I work as a teacher and run my own IT and communications business, but in the world of cocktails and spirits, I’m better known as Double Strainger.

What began back in 2016 as a hobby — posting my favourite cocktail recipes on a blog and social media — quickly grew into a lively community. Today, thousands of followers experiment with my recipes, I create bespoke drinks for bars, brands and events, and I host inspiring cocktail workshops for clubs and associations.

For me, variety is key — not only in flavours and recipes, but also in glassware and presentation. The right glass adds an extra layer of experience to every cocktail or mocktail. That’s exactly why my partnership with TX Distri is such a perfect match: their wide, stylish range of glassware helps me add that extra touch of class. Maybe we’ll meet in person at one of their next open days — I’d love that!

In the meantime, here’s a refreshing summer recipe for you to try: a Limburg-inspired, alcohol-free twist on the iconic Cosmopolitan. Just shake all the ingredients with plenty of ice, strain into an elegant, hand-painted Flora coupe glass filled with fresh ice, and enjoy. 

✨ Limburg Cosmo NA ✨

• 50 ml Fryns Spice NA
• 30 ml cranberry juice
• 30 ml orange juice
• 15 ml lime juice
• 15 ml simple syrup

Shake hard. Pour with love. Sip and savour. Santé!
