Lift your spirits
The brunching rules got a bit trending last year with low on alcohol cocktails, spiked slushies, fancy ice-cubes and experiential cocktails setting the standards. Continuing with the trend, fruit and herb infused cocktails are now making it to the table while elevating the brunch or fine dine experience. At The Bagh, Amritsar, the cocktail menu competes for one’s attention with an equally interesting food menu. You have Sunset Theory, a gin based cocktail with mango, saffron and turmeric; salty goodness with strong flavour of Tequila and citrusy line juice and olive brine, and the classic yet popular. Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martini to lift your spirits. Literally!
