Celebrated as “The world’s most delicious Tequila”, El Cristiano 1761 embodied purity, passion, and purpose in every sip.

The vibrant spirit of Mexico City’s Colonia Roma came alive in Delhi as Limantour’s expert bartenders transformed Grappa into a temple of liquid craft. Guests savoured a carefully designed cocktail menu combining daring Mexican ingredients with worldly polish. Signature creations like Margarita Al Pastor and Sea Breeze delighted the crowd, with dramatic presentations and storytelling through mixology, turning every pour into a memorable act.

Guests experienced flavour combinations that surprised, eye-catching presentations, and the artistry that has made Limantour a pilgrimage site for cocktail lovers worldwide.
