1986
Throwback to 1986, the year that the first woman became the glorious winner of the National Longdrink Competition and not just any woman; it was the legendary Brigitte Geraci!
Who’s son Thalys Busman is now the reigning champion of the Netherlands.
She well impressed the jury with her longdrink Peachy Keen, check out the pic below for the details.
Also that year Henk van Olffen from the Hotel Okura Amsterdam won the National Cocktail Competition with his cocktail Mandarito;
30 cc Mata Hari
10 cc Bols mandarine (we prefer Mandarine Napoleon)
5 cc fresh orange juice
1 cc fresh mango juice
1 dash of mathieuteisseire_nl passion syrup
Garnish with a Revolutioncherry, kiwi and orange
And yes, sure, some other things happened that year. But I’m pretty sure these were the highlights and who needs the lowlights right...?
