1. Classic Gin and Tonic
The gin and tonic is a classic choice for sundowners. It’s refreshing and easy to prepare. We particularly like Flowstone Bushwillow Gin. Their Double-Gold award winning Bushwillow Gin is their most striking Gin in the range. Pair with any Fitch and Leedes Tonic.
2. A Summertime (Vodka Kola Tonic)
Popular in the Lowveld, the Vodka Kola Tonic, or "A Summertime," combines vodka ,soda water and kola tonic. This drink balances sweetness and fizz, making it a great alternative for those who prefer something different yet refreshing. Add a dried naartjie for a light citrus touch. Grab any vodka in store!
3. Andiamo
The Andiamo Can is a convenient ready-to-drink Aperol Spritz cocktail that offers fruity flavors. It's easy and pretty much spill proof for the game drive. It’s on the sweeter side and bubbly, making it an enjoyable choice for sundowners, especially if you’re looking for something easy and quick to pack into the coolie
4. Zwakala Beer
Zwakala Beer is a great local option. Proudly brewed in Limpopo, this award winning brew is the perfect light lager - refreshing and crisp.
5. Old Vine Chenin Blanc from Bellingham
For wine drinkers, Old Vine Chenin Blanc from Bellingham is an excellent choice. The grapes for this distinctive Old Vine Chenin Blanc are hand-picked from characterful and genuinely unique old bush vines specifically blended from Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Darling. It features vibrant tropical fruit flavours with hints of honey and oak spice on the finish.
Or for something more relaxed try the Safari Wines Conservation Wine produced by La Vierge Winery in the Hemel - en - Aarde Valley. 10% of each bottle goes towards conservation, cheers to that!
Conclusion
These five drinks offer a variety of options to enhance your sundowner experience on a game drive and are all stocked at Safari Wines in Hoedspruit. Cheers!
