43. Courtney Cara Lawson - Bartender : Fable

Cocktail Bar culture has a firm grip on the Cape Town hospitality scene. It's uncharted territory for many. But if you have a seasoned bartender like Courtney Cara Lawson to help identify what to order and where to go - what's a good cocktail venue and what's merely a bar - you can navigate your way to a fine evening out. I sat down for a chat with a dear friend, and learned a lot about a trend which has people eschewing alcohol-forward, bitter classics like the negroni and choosing the carefully crafted offerings of a banging cocktail lounge like Fable in the heart of the city.
