Bodega Cantina-Y-Bar has Uttam Singh, the man who has won ‘Best Bartender’ awards from several organisations. So you can’t expect anything but the best cocktails at this gastropub.

What is it?

From a colour-changing cocktail to a bhaang-infused one, from a haatkey take on the Bloody Mary to a martini with activated charcoal in it, Bodega has the most innovative drinks. These aren’t just great to sip on, the presentation too will blow your mind. The signature cocktails – with a broad use of fresh fruits, purees, homemade bitters and flowers – showcase international and local flavours.

What Did I Love?

Everything! All the cocktails are Instagrammable, but the winner was Dusk to Dawn {INR 395} which changes colour from a nice shade of blue to purple. Made with Beefeater London Dry Gin, lime, tonic cordial, Asian sap and electric bitters, this one is a beauty.

Anything Else?

As a part of Bars Against Drunk Driving, Bodega has an Uber booking system. So make sure you either book a cab or have someone drive you home after a session of these heady concoctions.
