Multi-award winning bartender Travis Kuhn has just obtained a new accolade to add to his collection – being named South Africa’s Most Influential Cocktail Personality in DrinksFeed’s Top 20 in 2020 list.

The list was compiled based on votes from 50 drinks industry leaders, Kuhn’s peers, making it high – and heartfelt – praise. Kuhn is no stranger to awards, with his many achievements including BAR Awards Bartender of the Year for 2019, Inverroche Pioneers winner 2019 and Diageo World Class winner 2018, in addition to a string of flair competitions dating back to 2001.

Along with co-owners Kelby Schnetler and Leah van Deventer, who also made the list at number 19, Kuhn has just opened a hot new bar in Cape Town called the Vicious Virgin.

The Vicious Virgin is the city’s first tiki bar, one dedicated to rum-heavy, French Polynesian inspired cocktails famed for their kick. Indeed, it’s named after a classic tiki cocktail that contains two kinds of rum, Cointreau, falernum and fresh lime juice.

The Vicious Virgin follows on from Kuhn’s pop-up bar, the Polynesian Pearl Diver, which won best pop-up bar two years running at the BAR Awards.

“Our pop-up, the Pearl, was named after a classic tiki drink, The Polynesian Pearl Diver, which is a very magoo way of thinking tiki, with sunny skies, blue water, beach and palm trees. The Vicious Virgin, also the name of a classic tiki drink, will be the darker, edgier sister,” says Travis. 

And of being named South Africa’s Most Influential Cocktail Personality, he said, “In the company of cocktail kings, just to be in the conversation is an honour, but to be on the top is truly unbelievable!”

No doubt the Vicious Virgin is set to make waves in the cocktail scene. Find it at 53 Wale Street, Cape Town.
