MENU

Kairi Rita
Tequila || raw mango zing || lime ||spicy red dust

A vibrant fusion cocktail that combines the tangy, refreshing flavour of Aam panna squash - a traditional Indian drink made from raw mangoes, with the smooth kick of tequilla and the addition of chilli powder that give’s it a spicy flavourful finish. The rich Indian heritage of mango cultivation & the global appeal of cocktails. By introducing aam panna into margarita the drink becomes conversational starter, offering a glimpse into indias diverse culinary tradition while embracing the international love for cocktail.

Poona Junction
Fig gin || goat cheese || honey || milk washed || red wine

Where sweetness meets rebellion — and poetry meets palate. Poona Junction is a stop on a different kind of railway — one that winds through India's colonial nostalgia, Persian fruit markets, and Maratha countryside. Fig-infused gin, a nod to the Deccan orchards that once lined the outskirts of Poona (now Pune), where figs ripened under dusty sun and were carted by rail to bustling city markets. Balanced with local goat cheese, raw honey and a whisper of lemon, the cocktail captures the creamy, fermented tang of Indian dairy culture. Milk softens the edges, while a float of red wine adds a dry, tannic bite - like an old secret whispered over train tracks at dusk.

Nariyal Bazaar
Coconut rum || watermelon essence || pineapple extract || lime || egg white

A tribute to the chaotic calm of coastal markets in kerala and Goa, where vendor’s slice coconut’s with a single motion and tropical fruits perfume the air. The coconut rum forma the heart of this coastal carnival blended with sweet watermelon syrup and zesty pineapple juice balanced by a zing of lime.

Malabar Coast
Pernod liquor || lime || sugar

Named after the malabar coast (south west India) known for spice trade. Star anise entered Indian trade routes through kerala and this drink carries that misty coastal spice magic. It’s bold aromatic essence pair’s naturally with pernod amplifying the anise flavour while the lime and sugar cut through with brightness and balance.

Deccan Noir
Bourbon || dark chocolate || thick cream || milk || cocoa powder

A sip of shadow and silk from the Southern plate. Deccan Noir is a drink born where volcanic soil meets monsoon skies — in the heart of the Deccan plateau. Inspired by the rich cocoa farms of Karnataka and the quiet fire of southern nights, it's a slow, luxurious blend of Bangalore dark chocolate, creamy milk, and velvety thick cream. A spoonful of fine cocoa powder and light sugar stir warmth into the heart of the drink, while a pour of bourbon - smoky, oaky, and bold - adds Western swagger to this deeply Indian soul.
