Gin Cocktails For The Summer: These 6 Bars In Goa Do It Right!

Located right behind the famous 100-year-old Cafe Tato, Petisco offers a large variety of Gin and Tonics. The Smoked G&T is topped with burnt rosemary and citrus. It's a smokey drink, and perfect for those who love a slight bitter taste in their cocktails. Other hits include the Ultimate G&T and Grapefruit and Thyme G&T.

Another one located in Panjim and very recently opened is Isabella's Tapas Bar. The cocktails at this Spanish Tapas flirt with experimental flavours such as fig liqueur and limoncello. Their drinks are truly out of the box, and were made especially to pair with their food.

Sakana is the OG Japanese restaurant in Vagator and there isn't a better place to see how the Indo-Japanese gin can be experimented with than here. The Doja plays its role in various cocktails like Komamiru Collins that has elderflower and chamomile tea and the Okinawa Sunset that has a punch of coconut.

Another gem in Vagator boasts of being a boutique bar and kitchen, and truly lives up to that. Ever had a gin cocktail called Atta Matcha? Well, if you love the earthy matcha notes this should be your pick. Whereas if you are team mango, you would want to try the Kairi leaves.

Versus may relatively be the new kid on the block but their mixologist does some epic drinks. Kafir lime and angostura bitters are some of the things that go into everyone’s favourite Passiflora and on the other hand some lemongrass and elderflower go into their gin sin. So, which one are you going to try off this Anjuna spot’s menu?

This one in South Goa may be known for its authentic Italian pizza but they do cocktails with gin really well. The Goodfellas gin and tonic comes full of spices and yet tastes subtle, and is the popular choice. They also do a mean Negroni.
