6 Crazy Cocktails In Delhi For A Happy Weekend

Your favourite cocktail is a name cast in stone – undeterred and unchangeable (unless someone offers you LIIT, never say no to LIIT). But that’s true only up to 5 (or maybe more if you’re a tank and super rich), because after five glasses of a heady concoction one can settle even for warm beer. Oh you know you will!

But here are 6 cocktails that are so unique and offbeat that you’ll remember them even the morning after!

1. Ace of Swords in Love

This deadly potion will love you to the moon and back and destroy your taste buds and senses in the process.

2. Mangaa

A tangy mix of sweet lime, aam panna, cumin, salt and vodka, this cocktail will drown all childhood summer memories of your granny’s homemade aam pana in vodka. Sorry Paperboat.

The drink which sounds like a character out of a spy movie (except for the ‘Mule’) stays true to its name with generous amounts of vodka dancing around in the glass.

4. Vault Number 1857

Sit back like a mafia in the dark setting of the place and sip on this smoking cocktail which is a blend of Vodka, cardamom, vanilla syrup, pineapple juice and lime juice and when garnished by vanilla air on top.

5. Thunderclap Cocktail

[schema type=”organization” orgtype=”Organization” url=”www.cndspeakeasy.com” name=”Cocktails & Dreams, Speakeasy” description=”Vintage Bar” street=”SCO 23, Behind Galaxy Hotel, Sector 15″ pobox=”0″ city=”Gurgaon” state=”Haryana” postalcode=”122002″ country=”IN” phone=”011 33105298″ ]

The pungent potion hits you as hard as a thunderclap. Shaken up with whickey, gin, apple juice, ice and a dash of orange, the cocktail is a 1920s classic.

6. Apple Cigar

You know a cocktail is ‘bottoms up’ good when even a non-whiskey drinker down it and goes for seconds. The cocktail is a delicious mix of clover and apple juice flavored with a smoked candy. This is why I have drinking problems.
