Cabrito is certainly one of Cape Town’s hottest drinking spots. Their tequila cocktails are some of the best in town and mixing them on a regular basis is Roxy Prentice. We caught up with this brunette beauty during a recent visit to the trendy tequila joint and asked her a couple of intimate questions.

No… I think
