Bengaluru's cocktail culture is embracing a fresh approach this summer, moving away from heavy mixes to drinks that emphasize balance and refreshment. Top bars in the city are crafting cocktails that are easy to sip and memorable. Highlights include the Haiboru, a highball featuring Grey Goose vodka and a house-made Thai vermouth infused with galangal and lemongrass, complemented by a homemade soda of pickled baby ginger and raisins. Another standout, Crimson Funk, is a gin-based cocktail that combines tropical passionfruit with earthy beetroot and ginger, creating a zesty drink perfect for warm days. The Sakura G&T offers a delicate floral experience with pink gin and elderflower, while the Blue Pea Blossom G&T captivates with its deep blue hue and refreshing citrus notes. These cocktails not only refresh but also elevate the summer drinking experience across Bengaluru.
