Link Up

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Created in 1975 by Joe Gilmore, the Head Barman of the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, to mark the American and Russians link up in Space, the Apollo-Soyuz project. The Link Up cocktail was sent to the U.S.A and U.S.S.R for the astronauts to enjoy when they returned from their mission. When told this by NASA as they linked up in Space, they responded, “Tell Joe we want it up here”.
