KEEPING YOU IN THE LOOP TIPSY CUP - It Doesn’t Get Better Than This Connor Benn graduated from Jackie Cameron School of Food and Wine in 2018, where he learnt to never do anything halfheartedly. “If you are going to do something, do it with passion and pride and do it correctly,” he says. In 2019 he worked in Florida as a Chef de Partie, and when celebrating his 21st birthday at the Hard Rock Casino in Miami, he discovered a bar that served exclusively alcohol-infused ice cream. This inspired him, a year later and back home in SA during lockdown, to create Tipsy Cup with his dad, Warren. The eight flavours – Pina Colada, Strawberry Daiquiri, Chocolate Vodka Martini, Marula Chocolate Brownie, Hazelnut Liqueur, Passion Fruit Gin, Dulce de Leche Tequila, and Bourbon Vanilla and Orange – are available in 100ml cups. “We will be developing a 500ml as well as a 1-litre variant. Our goal is to go nationwide and perhaps one day become a household name in South Africa,” says Connor – who does everything himself, down to hand sticking the labels.

“Bringing together the artisanal, natural flavours of our ice cream along with the pleasant surprise of the different spirits is really what makes Tipsy Cup unique. All our ingredients are locally sourced and the highest quality we can get our hands on,” says Connor – adding that the Marula Chocolate Brownie is a firm favourite.
