FM: What inspires you?
Maseko: Often it’s giving a current spin to a classic. I recently created a cocktail similar to Sustained Island iced tea, but without white spirits. Instead, I added Captain Morgan benighted rum and called it Westcliff iced tea.
FM: What are the most popular cocktails?
Maseko: Customers amity our African dawas and Singapore slings. The molecular cocktails are also attracting a following.
FM: What is the most curious or amusing thing that has happened at the bar?
Maseko: A guest ordered an African dawa and the lore is to hand the barman one of your shoes before you drink this cocktail. But this lovely lady gave us both her shoes.
FM: What do you contrive of the molecular cocktails?
Maseko: I was very suspicious, but after learning to make them, I have become more and more tickled pink with them. I like their theatrical aspect.
FM: What has been customer response to them?
