Cape Town Cocktail Week has officially turned the city into a playground for cocktail lovers — and one of the hottest stops on the festival map is none other than Cause Effect Cocktail Kitchen at the V&A Waterfront.

Known for its wildly creative, terroir-driven drinks and theatrical flair, Cause Effect is now turning up the volume with a global guest shift straight from Thessaloniki, Greece.

On Friday, 12 December, the award-winning duo Vaggelis Pinikis Brito and Achilleas Thanasoudas from the innovative Purovōku Project will be stepping behind the Cause Effect bar for a night of cross-continental flavour exploration.

And yes — it’s completely free to attend.

🍹 A Greek Takeover Featuring Tequila, Bourbon & Pure Genius

The Purovōku Project is known for its sensory, story-driven creations — the kind of cocktails that make you pause mid-sip and say, “Wait, what’s in this?!”

For their South African debut, they’ll be pouring with:

  • Volcan Tequila — crisp, volcanic and expressive

  • Woodford Reserve Bourbon — rich, smooth and endlessly mixable

Expect a mash-up of Mediterranean inspiration, Greek craftsmanship, and Cape Town creativity — all shaken, stirred, and served with the signature Cause Effect theatre.

💸 Yes, You Can Drink Like a Global VIP for Just R50

Thanks to Cape Town Cocktail Week, anyone with a festival wristband can explore signature serves for just R50 at participating top bars across the city — including Cause Effect.

So in addition to the guest shift specials, festival-goers can sip on Cause Effect’s iconic drinks at wallet-friendly prices. That’s a rare treat — and a delicious opportunity.

🌊 The Perfect Waterfront Night Out

With the shimmering V&A Waterfront backdrop, the Rocket Shed buzzing, and two Greek bartending stars channeling their artistry into every glass, this is set to be one of the most dynamic nights of CTCW.

Come for the guest shift.
Stay for the vibes, the flavours, and the kind of cocktail craftsmanship that doesn’t come around every week.
