Welcome

Welcome…to what will hopefully be the beginning of many posts on life behind the stick in Africa. A place that while being a bit of a cocktail backwater and not always on the cutting edge of international drinks trends, has (I hope) enough vibrancy and interesting quirks to provide (not withstanding my writing abilities) a good read and perhaps a few good drinks too. So let’s venture, armed with a love of all things cocktail, into the world of drinking in Africa, a different, sometimes frustrating, sometimes humbling but always interesting experience.

The bar cash register in one of the many abandoned hotels on the Mozambican coast.

I'll hopefully be following with a few posts and pictures shortly.

I love feedback so please feel free to let me know what you think...even if it's just to tell me I suck!
