Ami Shroff is a renowned flair bartender, mixologist and fire juggler. And having been around since 2003, you know she's the go-to person for all things cocktail and mixology! So this World Cocktail Day, we got her to tell us about her favourite cocktails, gin, and alcohol brands. Cheers!
Award-winning Mixologist Ami Shroff Tells Us Her 9 Favourite Drinks!
Her All Time Favourite Cocktails:
Bloody Mary: She loves Bloody Mary. So, most of us have experienced the magic that vodka is. But when paired with tomato juice, Tabasco, salt, pepper and lime, it takes the game to a whole new level.
Negroni: Garnished with orange peels, Negroni is an Italian cocktail that is made of part gin, part Campari, and one part vermouth rosso. Negroni is one of her favourite cocktails.
Gin & Tonic With Twists: Being a mixologist she loves giving a good twist to her regular Gin & Tonic. This could be anything from adding from adding cucumber, lime, thyme, or strawberry and black pepper. You can personalise it to your flavours as this drinks is versatile.
