Whether they sip a Kir Royale toast to France’s Le Bleus, an Irish Coffee in honour of Ireland’s Green Machine, or raise a Tokyo Mule to the Brave Blossoms of Japan, there is a special beverage for every country.
Joanne Selby, General Manager at The Table Bay hotel says, “Sun International is a proudly South African company so our blood is 100% green and gold, but as 80% of our guests are international visitors we will raise our glasses to the success of their nations in the Rugby World Cup!”
