1950
1950 was the year of the very first Dutch National Cocktail Championship after the founding date of the NBC in 12-12-1949.
It was a cold October month, with an average temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and mostly dry according to weerverleden.nl .. Except for the day when the first Dutch National Cocktail Championship was held where many drinks were poured! After a much heated battle between over 100(!) bartenders competing at the RAI Amsterdam, the prize went to Theo Rijken with his Golden Coach cocktail. Curious about his winning recipe? We've got it right here for you!
