Take a drive around Lion’s Head on your way to Clifton and you will pass Salt Vodka Bar, the first bar in Cape Town dedicated solely to the East Europian drink of Vodka. Here you can relax in the sophisticated lounge and enjoy a choice of 30 premium brand vodkas, served neat or as a colourful cocktail, and accompanied by delectable tapas from the deli downstairs.
The walk-in champagne fridge also has a choice of 30 bubblies – half local, half French – all available by the glass. To complete the hedonistic experience are panoramic views of the moody Atlantic.
What can you drink here? Obviously vodka, but ask Timothy, barslinger of the week, for the very popular Illusion Fling Cocktail with superior vodka.
Illusion Fling Cocktail
Frech Pineapple juice shaken cold with Stolichnaya Vanilla Vodka
Fresh Lemon, Lime, Pure Cane Sugar and
a unique Sweet Melon Liqueur.
Stained tall over cubed ice.
You have a choice between premium vodka or superior vodka for all cocktails, the latter being more refined (and a bit more expensive).
If you hang with Diddy and the gang why not opt for a Porn Star Martini at R103 a pop.
