Drink Feature

Cuba Libre (Rum and Coke)
If this is your drink, you’re either completely fearless or completely crazy! But that’s why people love you; your appetite for life is infectious. You’re a great story-teller and a romantic at heart. New things, new places and new faces satisfy your ever-curious spirit.

Gin ‘n Tonic
It’s 12 noon somewhere in the world, right? Okay, we’ll give you a break. You’re allowed to sit on your stoep and savour your G & Ts, even if it is only 2pm on a weekday. As long as you stay on your stoep…

Jägerbomb
Your motto is most likely “18 ’til I die.” That’s okay if you are, in truth, 25 or younger. But if you’re not, we reckon it’s time to turn on the brakes. Sooner or later those hangovers will become intolerably painful and your metabolism will catch up.

Margarita
You’ve got a wild side that emerges every so often; the crazier the party the happier you are! Plan how you’re going to get home before you go out; driving under the influence is unforgivable, and waking up next to strangers isn’t cool either.

Martini
You used to be an idealist, but these days you just work too hard. You feel like something is wrong when you’re not wearing a power suit, and you’re the only fool who goes to the office on a public holiday. Regardless of whether you like it stirred or shaken. (Mix the perfect Bond drink with our recommended Martini recipe.)

Mojito
You like to appear cultured and stylish at the same time. You’ve got an impressive collection of books and you like a bit of a debate, but your friends are getting bored with the tales of that time you went to Thailand. (Mix this cocktail yourself with our recommended Malicious Mojito recipe. Or try a Caipirinha [a Brazilian lime cocktail] for some variety.)

Red wine
You’re a sensual beast! The voluptuous warmth of a good red wine delights you, and you love good music, good food and good conversation. Be careful not to over-indulge!

Tequila
You proudly boast the scars of your many UDIs (unidentified drunken injuries) and you often have trouble remembering how you got home (tut, tut!). Unless you buy the seriously good stuff… in which case, you probably have more money than you know how to spend. (If you like tequila, you’ll enjoy mixing your own Eternal Resposado, a tequila-based cocktail with an enjoyable kick.)

Whisky
If you know your single malts from your pure pot still, you’re well-spoken, well-read and a bit of a thinker. You like the finer things in life, but people tend to find you aloof. It’s not necessary to speak the Queen’s English all the time, you know.

White wine
It’s just as well you live in South Africa, because you love spending time outdoors. You’ve got a bit of a superior air about you, but you know what you like and how you like it. At times, you can be a bit predictable.
