She’s creamy. She’s dreamy. She’s proudly South African.
Meet the Melktert Martini — the cocktail everyone’s talking about. Created by our very own Grantham behind the bar at Stoep, this signature sip has fast become a Laborie favourite. Inspired by one of South Africa’s most nostalgic desserts, it’s smooth, spiced, and just the right amount of indulgent — like the taste of home, reimagined for a vineyard village afternoon.
The Melktert Martini brings together the familiar comfort of cinnamon, vanilla, and cream, finished with a subtle kick that makes every sip feel like a celebration. It’s a nod to heritage, a toast to creativity, and proof that the classics never go out of style — they just get a Laborie twist.
Best enjoyed on the patio at Stoep, inside by the bar, out on the terrace overlooking the gardens — or even as a takeaway for those sunset strolls through the estate. However you choose to enjoy it, this cocktail fits right in with Laborie’s easy elegance and everyday charm.
It’s the perfect pairing for a weekend lunch, an evening catch-up, or a slow afternoon that turns into dinner. Creamy, dreamy, and proudly local — the Melktert Martini isn’t just a drink, it’s a feeling.
Come try it for yourself at Stoep, the bistro at the heart of Laborie’s living garden — where every pour tells a story, and every sip feels like home.
