If festive season in Joburg had a soundtrack, it would be the cheerful clink of ice in a tall spritz glass.
And this year, Protea Hotel Balalaika Sandton is turning up the sparkle with not one, but two reasons to raise a glass.
First up:
- ✨ The 12 Days of Spritzmas — exclusively at the Destination Lounge! ✨ Your holiday countdown just got deliciously bubbly. Each day reveals a brand-new spritz infused with citrus, botanicals or bright seasonal flavours—all for just R95 per cocktail. 12 days. 12 spritzes. Endless reasons to celebrate.
But the sipping doesn’t stop there…
- Across Lords Bar, The Bull Run, Dollar Bar, and Destination Lounge, the hotel’s signature Rose’s cordial cocktails and mocktails are available all festive season. So whether you’re feeling fruity, floral, nostalgic, or tropical, there’s a flavour waiting to brighten your day—no countdown required.
Here’s a taste of what’s always on the menu:
