David Van Zyl
David Van Zyl bartends at Cause Effect Cocktail Kitchen in Cape Town, South Africa.
He gathered honey from a local beehive and rose hips to create his very own homemade mead. For his Patrón Pantry Challenge recipe, David combines his rose and honey mead, Patrón Reposado, a homemade grapefruit shrub, lemon juice and Angostura Aromatic Bitters. Finally, inspired by a bee smoker, David smokes the cocktail.
Discover David's full recipe in his Patrón Pantry Challenge video above.
David was the 2019 South Africa Patrón Perfectionist champion. Find out more about his winning cocktail, Dove Tail.
