Vasco’s in the city is allowing you to make your own drink, with interesting spice additions.
If you’re one of the ‘chaivinists’ (as the millenials like to call the ones addicted to tea), then why keep your favourite chai away from your spirits, especially when you’re welcoming another year, which all looks full of more tea? Taking this idea ahead, Vasco’s in the city is allowing you to make your own drink, with interesting spice additions — keep it as close to Madras’ flavours as you like!
“The idea is to bring in some of the oldest cocktail recipes, some of our very favourite drinks like chai and make interesting cocktails out of them. Some of the drinks one can make themselves include masala rum chai, hot rum toddy with an Indian twist, nutmeg and dry ginger Alexander, Bellini popsicles and more,” says Devendra Kushwaha, the food and beverage manager at Hilton.
So, go bold with spices that these drinks try to bring out alive — from cardamom, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, dry ginger and even more desi with red chillies. If your New Year resolutions include breaking the rules, here’s somewhere you can start off. “The idea is to ditch the classics that we often stick to, and experiment waith flavours,” Devendra adds.
