Whisky and bitters have been the perfect pairing for generations bringing balance, depth and character to every pour.

From timeless classics like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan to refreshing favourites like the Whiskey Sour, a few dashes of ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters elevate every whisky cocktail, enhancing flavour and creating a beautifully rounded finish.

While International Whisky Day may celebrate the spirit once a year, whisky cocktails remain a staple for any occasion, from after-work drinks to weekend get-togethers across South Africa.

With over 200 years of heritage, ANGOSTURA® continues to inspire creativity behind the bar and at home. Whether you enjoy your whisky neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail, adding bitters transforms every sip into something truly memorable.

With St Patrick’s Day on 17 March, one of Ireland’s most iconic comfort foods is getting global attention – the Kerrygold Crisp Sandwich.

Made with soft white bread, Kerrygold butter and cheese-and-onion crisps, the nostalgic Irish snack recently went viral after Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie revealed they ate it daily while filming together, with Robbie reportedly calling it “heaven”.

“The crisp sandwich proves the simplest ingredients can create the most memorable food traditions,” says Kerrygold Senior Global Brand Manager Neil Rogers. “It’s nostalgic, comforting and unmistakably Irish - which makes it the perfect snack to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.” Read more here:

Nothing brings South Africans together like a braai. But this Heritage Day, the rocketing price of beef is putting a dampener on the fire.

Eskort, South Africa’s leading antibiotic-free pork producer, says there’s no need to go “braai broke.” The answer is simple: switch to smarter protein.

While beef prices have soared, pork remains far more affordable – with chops, rump and fillet costing less than half their beef equivalents.

“Prepared properly, pork rivals beef in taste and quality – at a fraction of the price,” says Eskort CEO Arnold Prinsloo. “This Heritage Day, you can still be a braai boss without burning your budget.” Read more: https://fbreporter.co.za/the-great-braai-budget-battle-how-eskort-is-saving-south-africas-heritage/
