Almost R1,000 for a jug full of high-class summer fizz

23 Dec 2016

A bottle of Luc Belaire Rose champagne, a dash of Tanqueray gin and a big dose of punch certainly sounds like a delicious summer thirst-quencher.

But there is a catch that might just make you choke on your drink – it costs a staggering R990.

So if you are looking to fritter away a small fortune, head over to News Cafe at the Boardwalk to try out its new Black Bottle Rocket cocktail.

If you are wondering about the drink’s sale potential, News Cafe owner Sandy Zoetmulder said the first one had been sold the day after the pricey party cocktail appeared on the menu two weeks ago.

“I was very surprised when a table of three women bought the drink, but it really is a refreshing summer drink,” she said.

“[It] has definitely been received well and there is a clientele who want to have that VIP experience.”

The cocktail, intended for a group of people, also contains cranberry juice, Monin grapefruit and a flare for effect.

The champagne bottle is turned upside down in the giant glass to allow the bubbly to mix slowly into the concoction.

“It really is a fun and flirty drink. It could[be] a refreshing Christmas punch, or perfect for a New Year celebration,” she said.

This reporter was lucky enough to taste the Black Bottle Rocket and it certainly was not hard to swallow.
