A delicious twist on two South African favourites.

The 2015 vintage is internationally regarded as one of South Africa’s finest to date, and if there’s one wine that illustrates that, it’s Anthonij Rupert’s Optima 2015.

On Monday, 16 September, ten of South Africa’s finest bartenders will demonstrate their inventiveness and skill in a cocktail competition like no other as they find creative uses for world-famous ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters, Angostura® Rums and Amaro di ANGOSTURA®.
