enerally, a cocktail is a drink with a combination of one
or more spirits along with various ingredients such as
flavoured syrups, spices, fruit juice, or cream. There are a
variety of cocktails based upon the kind of ingredients added, the
number of components used, and which spirit is used.
Currently, India at the world level, is lagging in the sector of
cocktails. However, in the coming years, India is going to witness a
massive explosion of variety in cocktails. India is one of the fastest-
growing countries in the cocktail culture. Nowadays, mixologists
are getting inspired to infuse drinks with local ingredients and
flavours. This will definitely help India to influence globally.
India’s largest chain of Brew-Pub - The Brew Estate - is going to
change the trend of cocktails in India. It is because all the cocktails
are based upon the Indian Urban Mixology. Aman Dua - the
finest mixologist of India - is the mastermind behind Indian Urban
Mixology. In simple words, in these cocktails, it is the ingredients
that are playing a major role. The Indian Urban Mixology consists
of 10 craft cocktails, and all are having their own story and thought
process. There are various Indian local ingredients used in these
cocktails with different techniques. All of these cocktails are
bursting with a complex depth of flavour.
