Timbavati Sour: The Safari Drink of the Season

Shara Burger|

As we slip into Spring (was there even a winter?) we find our guests asking for new cocktails around the bar, nothing as Wintery as a Gluhwein nor as Summery as a Margarita. Feeling inspired, Harry went ahead and created his own magical concoction for the season: The Timbavati Sour.

A smiling Tanda Tula staff member in an orange uniform holds a tray with a layered safari cocktail. He stands in front of a stone wall, with the drink centered in the foreground.

When we initially heard the mixture of ingredients (lemon juice, bourbon, red wine) we were all a bit skeptical. But we have been proven wrong!  Whether it is the mesmerizing colours, or Harry’s upselling skills, it has become a season hit.

We hope you decide to be brave enough and give it a try at home, because it is pretty good.

2 tots good quality bourbon

1 tot sugar syrup

Ice

1 tot good quality wine

Put the egg white, lemon juice, bourbon and syrup into a cocktail shaker. Give it a good shake and pour into a whiskey tumbler, add some crushed ice. Slowly, over a teaspoon, add your tot of red wine, this stops the ingredients mixing.

Enjoy!
