Circular Spirits: Turning Leftover Orange Peels into Orangecello at 4 Beaufort

If you love a good drink with a better story, you’ll love Orangecello at 4 Beaufort. This bright, citrusy liqueur proves that sustainability can be delicious: the orange peels left after we press fresh juice are transformed into Orangecello (Dik & Schil) and served on our drinks menu. It’s circular thinking you can taste—right here at De Zeeuwse Stromen in Renesse.

Why circular spirits belong on your table

Food and beverage waste often starts with small, everyday moments—like juicing an orange. Circular spirits flip that script by returning quality ingredients to the plate (and glass) instead of the bin. The result is a double win:

• Less waste, more flavor.
• Authentic stories behind what you sip.
• Tangible impact that guests can experience and support.

At Restaurant 4 Beaufort, circularity isn’t a trend; it’s part of how we host. From Orangecello to oyster mushroom croquettes, we connect culinary creativity with conscious choices.

What is Orangecello at 4 Beaufort?

Orangecello at 4 Beaufort is a vibrant liqueur noted on our drinks menu as Orangecello (Dik & Schil), made from the orange peels we don’t discard after pressing fresh orange juice. It captures sunny citrus aromas while keeping valuable ingredients in the loop.

Quick answer (great for the curious):

• Orangecello at 4 Beaufort is a liqueur made using leftover orange peels from our fresh orange juice.
• It appears on our drinks menu as Orangecello (Dik & Schil).
• It’s a delicious example of culinary circularity in action.

From breakfast to bar: the circular journey of an orange peel

Every day starts bright at De Zeeuwse Stromen. Our extensive breakfast buffet serves croissants, freshly baked rolls, eggs, and—of course—fresh orange juice.

• Monday to Friday: 07:30–10:00
• Weekends: an hour longer

Instead of tossing the peels, we put them to work. Those same peels are given a second life in Orangecello (Dik & Schil) on our drinks menu—closing the loop from morning juice to an evening sip at Restaurant 4 Beaufort or in our cosy bar, Café 16 Kwadraat.

How citrus liqueurs typically come to life (in simple terms)

While each maker has its own touch, citrus liqueurs are generally crafted by:

1. Gently infusing aromatic citrus peels in alcohol to capture zest oils.
2. Balancing with sugar and water for a smooth, rounded finish.
3. Resting, so flavors marry and mellow.

This high-level overview explains why peels—packed with essential oils—are prized for flavor. At 4 Beaufort, those flavors carry a purpose-built story of reuse.

Culinary & circular: more than a single bottle

Orangecello is part of a broader, everyday commitment that guests can taste and feel.

• Oyster mushroom croquettes by De Ambachterie: The filling is made from oyster mushrooms grown on coffee grounds. We collect our coffee grounds, and our supplier Bidfood picks them up. GRO in Amsterdam then grows oyster mushrooms on this material—bringing the circle full circle.
• Our herb garden: The kitchen uses fresh, on-site herbs in dishes served at Restaurant 4 Beaufort.
• Green Key Gold: De Zeeuwse Stromen holds the Green Key Gold certification and meets—and strives to exceed—international sustainability standards, safeguarding the environment without compromising guest comfort and quality.
• Waste separation and local, sustainable purchasing: From plastic to coffee grounds, responsible sorting and mindful sourcing help reduce environmental impact.

Together, these choices weave circularity into your whole stay—on the plate, in the glass, and across the property.
