Celebrating the Spirit of Brandy
South African brandies – neat, mixed and stirred – are associated with growing international acclaim. Loved by celebrities and savored at red carpet occasions such as the recent Urban Brandy and Tsogo Sun collaboration in Cape Town, this long-loved local spirit is being rediscovered by South Africa’s top mixologists.
“It is very gratifying to see our brandies being the hero in the very region many of them are produced, says Christelle Reade-Jahn from the South African Brandy Foundation.”
Urban Brandy initially started as an experience-based initiative created to educate the public about brandy in its different guises. Within just a couple of years it has already gained a reputation of being associated to the best venues and most memorable events on the social calendar.”
One such event hotspot is the prestigious Tsogo Sun Southern Sun Waterfront in Cape Town where premium brandy cocktails are enjoyed from the pool deck. Known for its first class service and culinary skills, Southern Sun Waterfront has been the host to Urban Brandy’s largest annual event for the second year running.
“As we are a firm favourite amongst international travelers, it’s always wonderful to see a mix of our fellow Capetonians here enjoying the hotel as well,” says Jeff Rosenberg from Tsogo Sun’s Southern Sun Waterfront.
“Urban Brandy is one of those partnerships that not only embraces everything home-grown, but also takes guests on a spectacular journey of flavours and fusion.”
Showcasing brandy’s versatility, Urban Brandy has been mixing and shaking South Africa’s premium brandies in some of the coolest and most refreshing cocktails to be experienced at well-known cocktail hubs around the country. The Urban Brandy Mixology team constantly research and refine brandy cocktails, using global trends to inspire premium celebratory alchemies.
