MELKTERT MARTINI
I have finally come up with a holiday cocktail that doubles as a dessert while satisfying my milk tart cravings. Happy holidays!
Drink
THE FRENCH 75
A classic cocktail with a tangy taste, bubbly mouthfeel and botanical undertones.
Close to the festive season having a little tangy refreshing beverage is sure to cut through all the rich foods that we will be devouring. And of course, the bubbles are sure to join in on the festivities!
La Piscine des fleurs
Technically, the Piscine is not a cocktail, but rather a way of drinking your bubbly.
GINGERBREAD AND KORRELKONFYT G&T
I love the subtle, spicy heat of gingerbread, which I’ve had with a drizzle of korrelkonfyt on more than one occasion.
BLOODY MARY
This undisputed classic has seen more incarnations than Madonna over the span of career. It is sometimes garnished with beef or chorizo, sometimes prawns or all manner of fruits and vegetables, and sometimes even onion rings or pretzels. But when it comes to a scaring up a great morning-after Bloody Mary, the simpler the better.
Cointreau Kalahari Cooler
This is like a fruit salad in cocktail form – summer in a glass – perfect for a poolside party or treat for two on one of those sweltering December days.
Kalahari Kollins
The kick you get out of preserving the season with this pear and vanilla simple syrup is perfectly complemented by the kick you’ll get out of this Collins cocktail, beautifully paired with a beautiful cognac.
Kalahari Gin Spritz
This cocktail was inspired by the horned cucumber found in the Kalahari. On one of those bone-dry summer days, you won’t easily find a drink more refreshing than this melon-and-cucumber gin sensation.
NOT ALL BUBBLES WERE CREATED EQUAL
A Fresh Look at Méthode Cap Classique South Africa has been making wine for more than 300 years, but we only began adding sparkles to our wines about 50 years …
THE GRAND DOM
The Dom Pedro is as South African as bazaar pannekoek and milk tart – and is one of those classics that you can dress up or down to suit the occasion – no matter where you’re from.
