LAST ROUND
Desert island drink:
J’Something Before I go to my remote desert island, I’ll be packing… lots of water to keep me well hydrated in the hot sun, and then, definitely, some Jin Gin and Fitch & Leedes Indian Tonic. Last but not least, one of my favourite things to drink, especially on an island, is a really ice-cold beer, so I’ll be taking a case of Super Bock.
As the sun goes down and the weather turns nippy… I’ll be sipping on a nice cup of coffee. I’m quite a coffee snob, so I’d probably bring my own coffee grinder and machine, and make some good cappuccinos. For a nightcap, any good-quality Port from Portugal will do.
When the sun’s beating down, my cocktail of choice will be… the tomato and sweet piquanté pepper Jin Gin, which is quite savoury and delicious, with ginger ale. To garnish, I’ll add something herby. Maybe I’ll take a bunch of mint with me.
If I get hungry I’ll whip up some grilled, cubed halloumi and potatoes, tossed in some olive oil and fresh herbs, with a bit of chilli and a splash of lemon juice.
The Jin Gin collection includes Orange, Rooibos & Honey; Tomato & Sweet Piquanté Pepper, and Olive & Honey – all available at PnP for R399.99. Jingin.co.za MiCasa’s new single, Toca, is available on all streaming platforms. Micasamusic.com
For my island soundtrack, I’ll be blasting… Mi Casa’s latest single, Toca, featuring Jay Em. To keep myself busy… I’ll probably take my soccer ball so I can play some soccer, swim in the ocean and try to catch up on my tan!

It’s thirsty work having a tropical isle all to yourself, but luckily the Mi Casa front man and brains behind Jin Gin knows exactly what he’ll be stocking his banana-leaf bar with.
