Braza@Cedar Square, Fourways, South Africa

Welcome to the first of many entries detailing our quest to find the best long island ice tea in the world. Ok yes that is mildly ambitious but you have to start somewhere so Rob and I (Dave) are going to start local and work our way around the place. So yes let the games begin:

Dave's boggle:

Presentation: So, initially I was disappointed, it was served in a normal glass nothing special no flare at all. All rounds post had a nice touch of the cola being separated from the alcohol by the lemon which was I thought was a nice touch. (2/5)

Flavour: Through out the evening the flavour didn't score high. First one was watered down and the rest tasted way too much like peach schnapps. All in all ok(1/5)

Service: First off Braza is more of a restaurant their food is ok but the service is slow. We had to ask for our second drinks and third instead of being requested. (N/A)

Overall I would not recommend their long island ice teas, but the food was good.

Final verdict: (1/5)

Rob's Humble Opinion.

Presentation: Likewise, I was disappointed with the initial round of drinks. Whilst mine was certainly the strongest, It was still indeed watered down. The drinks were also brought to us pre-stirred, and so lacked that long islands initial look. I was also mildly disappointed in the straws that accompanied the drink, It was just a standard straw... nothing exciting. The second round of drinks were far better, as Dave has said, they had an interesting way of separating the cola from the rest of the mix by use of a lemon as a barrier, this made the drink far more fun. (3/5) ((I really liked the lemon trick.))

Flavour: I wasn't impressed, All 3 rounds had a remarkably different taste, with one or more of the alcoholic components being more present than another. Still, they were tasty. (1/5)

Service: Braza has a nice atmosphere, and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately, we did have to ask for our second and third drinks... as apposed to being offered. (2/5)

Great Place for a meal, but not the best long islands around. Final Verdict: (1/5)

Cost of a long island from Braza: R36.00

And of course, our review would not be complete without the soon to be infamous M-Score, the inner workings of which we shall explain in time :)
