The Cape Hummingbird Cocktail


Summer and the holidays are times for cocktails on the lawn. Realising that the Cape has a rich heritage of spirits that can be used in cocktails, I have decided to create some new ones.


Using Van Der Hum liqueur, Salt River Gin and Caperitif ‘Kaapse Dief’, I made a cocktail that I have called the Cape Hummingbird. It is a sweet nectar-like cocktail.

The recipe is:
 1 tot measure Van Der Hum Liqueur
1 tot measure Salt River Gin
1 tot measure Caperitif, Kaapse Dief


Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with lots of ice and shake well. Put half a slice of orange into a cocktail glass, pour the cocktail over it and enjoy al fresco in a beautiful garden.
