cool sips - Summer potions
Barkeepers are giving refreshing Indian twists to well-known
cocktails
to hammer the heatwave
MONKEYLADA
As
a quirky take on popular cocktail Pina Colada, hotels serve this slush
like
a smoothie with ripe bananas, fresh pineapple chunks, coconut milk
and
ice stirred together.A refreshing low-calorie drink for ones looking to
enjoy
a Pina Colada sans the rum!
KANDAHAR
MARTINI
Rose
petals are soaked in kewra syrup and an extra dry martini overnight.
This
infusion is added to vodka and ice, and garnished with gold-dusted rose
petals
to let you beat the heat in pure Bond style.
SHAZIA
IMLI
The
drink has no connection to the namesake politician. This imli wonder
is
a heady mix of vodka and spicy tamarind with dollops of ice.
The
tangy taste of tamarind adds a typical Indian punch to this slush.
SCREWDRIVER
Everyone
would have tasted this popular vodka and orange cocktail.
Bartenders
are now giving it a tasty spin with pomegranate and a sweet and
sour
fusion. The final drink is served with an actual screwdriver stuck in the
quirky
jar!
AACHAROSKA
How
about popular cocktail caipiroska and an Indian pickle concoction!
That's
the tangy trick of the season. Vodka, fresh mint, sweet and sour mix,
lime
wedges are concocted with lime pickle to give a chatpata spin.
INDIAN
MOJITO
This
Cuban drink is easily the most popular summer cocktail. Mixologists
are
adding to it a spicy spin by putting a dash of mint syrup and mint chutney
to
white rum along with sugar, lime, soda and mint leaves.
