Working on some new cocktails (always…!) and throwing it back to this beauty: the Ding Ding Dong from our Bizaar menu in 2018. Ginger, sesame and szechuan in a delicate dance with coconut Hennessy VSOP, shiitake sake, miso, 5-spice syrup and more. Uniquely delicious to say the least!

South African bars make World Top 100 list

Sin +Tax, along with two other SA bars made the list of 100 best bars in the world.

Connaught Bar in London has been awarded the world’s number one bar for 2020.

‘Despite relentless challenges this year, these bars have emerged with inspiring resilience, with many advancing in their recovery process. As guests look to start planning their next bar experiences, we hope that this extended list will be a source of inspiration to get people talking about returning to great cocktail bars as soon as they can,’ organiser Mark Sansom said.

‘We were met with the overwhelming response that the industry needed something to talk about. People are starting to go out again, and the message to consumers is that there are wonderful bars and they need to receive your support.’

‘This isn’t a celebration, but a sober recognition for the bars that have managed to keep going in this difficult time,’ Sansom added.

The Top 100 list is compiled by votes from The World’s 50 Best Bars Academy, which comprises more than 540 drinks experts, including renowned bartenders and consultants, drinks writers and cocktail specialists from around the world.
