  • The Next Best Thing If You Missed The Booze Ban Boat

    If ever there was news that warranted a stiff celebratory drink, it’s the Constitutional Court sentencing Jacob Zuma to 15 months behind bars.

    There is no appeal process, and he has five days to report to a police station.

    Whatever comes next, it’s going to be a wild five days, and I expect some twists and turns.

    Just the one problem with that stiff drink – alcohol sales are banned until at least Monday, July 11, and all evidence from the past 18 months points to that ban being extended.

    Well done to those who stocked up, and commiserations to those who didn’t, although it’s also a chance to finally get around to doing that ‘Dry July’ you’ve been talking about.

    Cutting out the booze doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to your favourite flavours, which is where the Fitch & Leedes Moments vintage cocktail range really steps up.

    Mixed to perfection and delicately carbonated, superbly balanced, and infused with the world’s finest flavours, there are four non-alcoholic cocktails to choose from.

    The Blushing Mimosa is the non-alcoholic version of this familiar sparkling wine and orange juice classic, and the Pink G&T is a great non-alcoholic substitute to the classic gin and tonic, featuring bitter citrus notes of juniper berries melded with fresh cucumber and fragrant rosewater.

    The Island Fish Bowl is a tropical burst of coconut blended with the sweet-bitter citrus taste of blue curaçao liqueur, and there’s plenty of old-school glamour in the Shirley Temple, featuring a raspberry tang and creaminess mix.

    Fitch & Leedes also has an alcohol-free Classics range, which works as a great alternative if you’re switching things up between drinks, or trying to stretch out your supply.

    Nobody wants to fight a fellow shopper for the last pineapple to make another round of homebrew.

    That seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?

    Lockdown time is a strange beast.

    You can order Fitch & Leedes’ full range via Takealot, although if you’re a sucker for urgency, there’s also Checkers Sixty60, Bottles, and other same-day options.

    Whatever you’re drinking tonight to celebrate the ConCourt ruling, I hope it goes down well.
