JHB West - Dec 20 / Jan 21

JINGLE
Profanity alert ... there’s
a little swearing. But if
you’re broad-minded,
this Classy as F*ck
Cocktails, with 60 damn
good recipes, is fun to
have. With it’s gold foilstamped
cover, and with
Calligraphuck’s expletives
sprinkled throughout,
the recipes are not too
complicated, the book is
frivolous and irreverent
... just what we need this
festive season. R335.
Sexton Irish Single Malt has just arrived in SA ... and is about to
send shivers through the whiskey drinking fraternity. Packaged
in a stylish, dark hexagonal bottle, it’s an Irish single malt – a
rarity in South Africa (while there are a number of Scotch single
malts on our shelves, Irish ones are few and far between). Made
with 100 per cent Irish malted barley, distilled in copper pot stills
and exclusively matured in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks,
it’s triple-distilled, resulting in a smooth approachability and
memorable character. Infinitely drinkable, it’s all honeyed malt,
dried fruit, nuts, spice and citrus oils and is perfect on ice, or in a
Barista’s Old Fashioned. You’ll find it for around R499 at Makro,
Norman Goodfellows, TOPS at Spar, Liquor City and Ultra Liquors,
or online at grooveco.co.za

ROCK
Nothing like a little glitz and
glamour – and a sparkling cocktail
or two – to get the 2020 festive
party started. Have fun.
Dress up your salad bowl with
these Golden Brass Queen salad
servers, made locally. R780 from
hauteedit.com • Throw a little
light in a dark corner ... gold LED
pillar candle, R169, and strings

R220, from Woolworths.
