Sweet berries, spicy rum, floral syrup and a bit of fizz: What more could you wish for from a refreshing summer cocktail?
What we really love about this recipe is that it can easily be adapted to cook in your potjie on the beach, at the braai – wherever your fancy takes you. And a South African summer just isn’t the same without at least one seafood get-together.
