Prepare to be enchanted by the crown of the cocktail array – The 1888 Epitome, a creation destined to stand out among the rest, says Ashwin. This exceptional libation embodies the perfect fusion of artistry and flavour. At the core of the 1888 Epitome lies the exquisite Bombay Sapphire and the ingenuity takes center stage as he artfully combines celery saccharum, which gives it a twist of refreshing celery notes. To add a touch of balance, malic acid is masterfully incorporated, enhancing the cocktail's overall profile, and the addition of Bubbles imparts a playful effervescence that dances on the tongue, celebrating the joy of the moment.

Amidst the brilliance of the 1888 Epitome, Home's constellation of exceptional signature cocktails gleams with equal splendor, promising a delightful array of flavours and experiences. Starting with the Harmony Snap, a charming concoction that captures the essence of balance and creativity, it is made with Dewars 12, green pea cordial, clarified green apple, and passionfruit, complemented by hints of Martini extra dry and sparkling wine that create an interplay of textures. Nostalgia, as the name suggests, evokes cherished memories with every sip. This evocative blend of Bombay Sapphire gin mingles seamlessly with passionfruit and strawberries, adding a touch of sweetness, while the Aperol contributes a subtle bitterness and fresh lemon, the creaminess of milk and cream clarified complete this nostalgic journey. The beetroot microgreens garnish adds a visually delightful touch. And lastly, the Fragrant Florasion, a mixture of Grey Goose vodka and Peach Vermouth, transports the senses to a garden of blossoms. Each sip is an exquisite blend of flavours and the spray of Orange Blossom Water. An elegant zest of orange crowns this delicious creation.

This bar takeover presents an exclusive chance for Mumbai's cocktail enthusiasts and connoisseurs to savour the innovation of Home, and the artistry at Yauatcha at the same time. Don't miss the chance to be a part of this exceptional evening of taste and luxury!
