Vermouth, Swartland, South Africa 

A revival tour of the illusive ‘Cape Aperitif’ from classic cocktail recipes of the 1800’s! In partnership with Danish mixologist Lars-Erik Schmidt, Adi Badenhorst reinvented an old South African product that disappeared around 1910. Crafted with a blend of sun-soaked chenin blanc and 35 natural botanicals, many of which are entirely unique to the sweeping biodiversity of the cape flora. Copper piping coloured, with orange blossom, handful of cinnamon hearts, clove, ginger, cherry, fynbos, tree bark, peppermint toothpaste & bitter orange. Enjoy on the rocks or mixed into a sultry-spiced manhattan. A rare prize, this is something we are lucky to get our hands on once a year!
