With a mere glance at Lulama’s aesthetically-pleasing Instagram page, one can get a good idea of who she is: a style influencer, fashion enthusiast, content creator, and artist in learning. Although art has always influenced her content creation in the past, she recently started practicing and producing her own original artworks – translating African experiences across spaces and drawing on her personal heritage.

Michael Stephenson, the owner of Lucky Shaker bar in Umhlanga, is popularly known for his mastery in crafting contemporary cocktails. Michael brings a unique look-and-feel, to every cocktail; this is no average bartender, but a true creator of the full sensory experience.

The drink was served in a ceramic cup, on a wooden saucer, with hessian layered on top. Michael has used his unique approach to mixology, to create a drink that truly tantalises all the senses, even including touch! He named the drink ‘Eye Of The Beholder’ – because, after all, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Or, as Michael says, “The delicious is in the details.”
