If you are treating yourself to some cocktails and sushi after a tiring shopping spree at the V&A, try Sevruga general manager Arno van Zyl’s favourite, the Blackcurrant Collins.
He builds it over crushed ice and crowns it with a splash of cassis.
It is a light drink with a cherry garnish that you can enjoy while staring at boats in the harbour, or the mountain.
