Suhren\'s fruit cocktail

<HTML>Further to the discussion below with MPC and Leon (and not wanting to thrash the topic or anything) I would just like to contribute a few brief lines from Reinhard Suhren\'s \"Nasses Eichenlaub\" regarding his own special fruit cocktail mix:

\"Once arrived in Gotenhafen I also met up with my friend Korvettenkapitän Heinrich Bleichrodt…In our delight at being reunited we steered a course straight for the canteen, and I suggested that we ought to concoct a bowlful of an appropriate cocktail - a fruit cocktail of course.
“So OK, how should we make it?”
“No problem Ajax” I said “it’s perfectly straight forward. A bottle of cognac as foundation and to turn it into a fruit cocktail add a bottle of cherry brandy and some fruit liqueur on top of that. We can dilute the whole lot with a couple of bottles of Sekt.”
We went ahead with the recipe and started to drink it quite peacefully. To begin with all went in a very civilised and businesslike way, but as time went on we kept losing the thread more and more often….”

Prost!
