From classic cocktails to bold new expressions, ANGOSTURA® remains the cornerstone of creativity behind the bar. Its versatility was on full display at the recent ANGOSTURA® Global Cocktail Challenge (AGCC) South African Finals, where ten of the nation’s top bartenders went head-to-head in a celebration of skill, passion, and flavour innovation.

Rising to the top was Alexander Fahrenheim, who impressed the jury with his original creation—the Royal Fool Swizzle—a cocktail that captures the spirit of modern mixology while paying homage to the timeless elegance of a swizzle. With rich, fruity layers and a hint of spice, it’s a refreshing yet complex serve that reflects ANGOSTURA®’s enduring influence on cocktail craftsmanship.

Royal Fool Swizzle Recipe

60ml ANGOSTURA® 7-Year-Old Rum (or a local rum)
45ml Rhubarb & Vanilla Cordial
45ml Moroccan Mint, Star Anise, Ginger Dry Vermouth
2 dashes ANGOSTURA® orange bitters
2 dashes ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters

METHOD

Alexander combined the smooth, full-bodied character of ANGOSTURA® 7-Year-Old Rum with a vibrant rhubarb and vanilla cordial, lifted by aromatic dry vermouth infused with Moroccan mint, ginger, and star anise. Finished with a double dash of both ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters and orange bitters, the cocktail is perfectly chilled and swizzled—bright, bold, and brilliantly balanced.

Immerse yourself in the Royal Fool Swizzle and discover why ANGOSTURA® remains a beacon of inspiration for mixologists worldwide, setting the standard for versatile and iconic cocktail creations.
