Groningen occupies a particular place in the history of Dutch lemonade.

It is the home of Ranja, the cordial that taught a nation to dilute a syrup with care.

It is also the home of Hooghoudt, whose distillers shaped the city's exacting approach to flavour.

The committee considered no other city.
