‘I-Bujwa’
50ml Hennessy VSOP
12,5ml Lemon Juice
10ml Passionfruit Coulis Shrub
15ml Buttermilk
15ml 1883 French Croissant Syrup
Ex Hennessy Barrel Smoke
Bujwa is the Zulufied version of the word bourgeois, a word used to describe the middle class typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values. In the township the word is used to describe a male who has a fashionable dress sense and usually dances well too.
On my last visit to Paris most of my colleagues from the townships spent a fortune on fine French clothing, you would call us amaBujwa as we’d be called in the township.
This drink draws it’s inspiration from our shared appreciation of elegant French clothing amongst other luxuries enjoyed while in Paris. #1883ddcontest #slojococktails #1883syrups

FRENCH FLAIR
My entry for the 1883 Drink Designer contest with @slojo_cocktails
Had a lot of fun getting this guy together!
35ml KWV 10yr brandy
10ml 1883 nougat syrup
15ml 1883 yuzu lemon syrup
25ml lime juice
20ml pear juice
20ml pineapple juice
1 dash Angostura bitters
Shaken and fine strained into a coupe
Garnished with a dehydrated lemon slice
The theme of "French Elegance" was a great one to toy with. Nougat, yuzu lemon and brandy all came together like the stripes of a French flag to create an incredible combination on the nose and palate. Nougat, well known as the confectionary of the rich and famous, pairs brilliantly when complimented by some freshly pressed lime and pear to represent the warm, loving embrace of rural farmlands while the juice of only the most elegant of pineapples; the queen, brings silkyness rivaled only by Marie Antoinette's bedding. Truly, elegance is to the French as @slojo_cocktails is to the future of flavour.

Better late than never. Behold! My entry for the #1883ddcontest in association with #slojococktails
The Anniversaire de Cote (Birthday at the Beach)
30ml Zuidam Oude Genever
5ml Absinthe
20ml #1883 Popcorn Syrup
100ml Brut Champagne
The inspiration behind the cocktail comes decadence in a strange place and time: drinking a Death in the Afternoon paired with a vanilla sponge cake with butter cream, which, in my imagination would be the ideal afterparty drink at the Cannes Film Festival combining both indulgence and elegance.

Homage to the grape:
The #drink it's my #love letter to #grapes.
The inspiration from the flavour pattern I received after tasting 1883.
I wanted to replicate a #blackberry #compote with 1883 by adding to my drink #redwine.
About how grapes have given #France the greatest place in the world of #hospitality and how so many #bartenders gives a blind eye to the rich #history and huge impact grapes has in the hospitality industry.
That is why my drink is called paying "hommage to the grape" . .
