Time Out Market Cape Town's Neighbourhood Feels Good is a "locals-first campaign built around creating a sense of routine, belonging, and everyday reward, where the neighbourhood becomes your go-to from after-work through to the weekend."

"These are all designed to make great food and drink more accessible while encouraging a consistent rhythm of visit. It’s not just about deals - it’s about creating a space that feels familiar, rewarding, and proudly local, where showing up is easy, valued, and always worth it." 

On World Cocktail Day, we launch the first in a new Masterclass Series. It's an experience designed to strip drinks culture back to what actually matters: structure, balance, and intent.  

Led by AJ Durow, this focused session explores gin beyond trend. You'll trace its journey from medicinal beginnings, through social chaos, to its modern role as one of the most precise spirits behind the bar.   

Through guided tasting, storytelling, and a single cocktail build, guests will gain a deeper understanding of balance, structure, and intention.  

WHAT TO EXPECT

A guided exploration of gin’s history and evolution A simplified understanding of botanicals and balance Insight into why classic cocktails still define quality A hands-on build of one iconic drink

🍸 THE COCKTAIL 🍸

The Gimlet  

  • A minimalist classic used to unpack:  Citrus as structure, not garnish Sugar as balance, not sweetness.
  • Dilution and temperature as essential components.
  • Why precision matters more when you do less.

WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH

  • A sharper understanding of how cocktails work
  • Practical knowledge you can apply immediately
  • A more intentional way of drinking
