1978
It´s the year 1978.
The Polish Karol Józef Wojtyła is elected Pope John Paul II after the short reign of 33 days by John Paul I. Gerrie Knetemann becomes world cycling champion and Johan Cruijff playes with Ajax his farewell friendly game against Bayern Munich. Bayern takes it seriously and defeat and humiliate the home team with an astonishing 0-8
At our national catering convention Horecava John Engelsman ( I like his name ) ends up an unanimous winner with his Nightkiss
In his recipe he used Vieille Cure de l'Abbaye de Cenon an ancient French herbal liqueur which recipe is still a guarded secret since it's production in 1619 and will remain a secret when they stopped making it in 1986. Bottles found are rare and expensive on collector markets.
Nightkiss
15 ml. Haig Scotsch whisky
30 ml. Mary Brizard Abricot Brandy (we prefer De Kuyper)
15 ml. Vieille Cure
3 dashes Grenadine (we prefer Mathieu Teisseire)
Stirr in a mixing glass over ice and fill up with orange juice
garnish just a half slice of lemon.
