2008
Today we highlight 2008 from the NBC history archives
This year Robert-Jean Brommet won the 49th Nationale Cocktail Championship in The Colage Hotel in Amsterdam
Robert describes: The Mojito, back in 2008, became a very popular drink and that's why I developed a spin off with home made peach syrup and fresh muddled peach, in combination with Bacardi Lemon, Peach liqueur and fresh mint. A peachy twist on the super popular classic. It was a very nice day during a hot summer, and working at The College Hotel as barmanager, it was a fantastic experience to win the final of the National Cocktail Competition 2008 aswell at the place I was working at. A home match!
Robert-Jean Brommet also won the "Libbey Best Technique Award" that year. A superb performance by a loyal NBC member that won the NCC 4x times in total making him a valuable member of our club. Give it up to Robert!
