Delhi – a city full of drinkers – has innumerable bars, restaurants and ahaatas, serving up a choice selection of liquor. Our team at Little Black Book loves a good cocktail, and with so many options, from so many places, we realised someone needs to do the needful and put together a list of favourites.
So without further ado, we present out list of favourite cocktails from around the city. Let us know what yours are!
One of our favourites from Piano Man’s rich selection of cocktails, the Cajun Margarita is a jalapeno infused tequila, in a Cajun powder coated rim. With just the right amount of spiciness and flavour, it is a strong drink.
