The Regional Pour By Rajni Gill – Crafting Stories, One Cocktail At A Time

· 7th November at The Swig, Raajkutir, Kolkata – IHCL SeleQtions

· 8th November at Shamiana, Taj City Centre New Town, Kolkata

KOLKATA, OCTOBER 31, 2025– The Regional Pour by Rajni Gill is all set to take the city on a spirited journey of taste and creativity. Celebrated mixologist Rajni Gill, popularly known as The Spirited Woman, will curate an elevated beverage experience on 7th November 2025 at The Swig, Raajkutir Kolkata – IHCL SeleQtions and 8th November 2025 at Shamiana, Taj City Centre New Town, Kolkata.

Renowned for her inventive approach to mixology, Rajni blends artistry, tradition, and modern innovation into every glass. Her repertoire is a symphony of flavours and advanced techniques — from spirit and sous-vide infusions to rotary evaporation and clarification. She experiments with umami-forward elements like truffle oil for depth, Manipuri black rice for texture, and delicate touches like gold vark for visual elegance.

Inspired by a breath-taking flight past Mount Everest, Rajni seeks to evoke awe and wonder through her craft, creating cocktails that mirror the beauty of nature and the essence of local cultures. Her creations are “liquid stories” — each inspired by her journeys through Kolkata’s Rajbaris, Delhi’s bustling bazaars, Goa’s sun-kissed coasts, Himachal’s serene valleys, and the tribal hearths of the Northeast.

Commenting on the occasion, celebrated mixologist Rajni Gill said, “With The Regional Pour, I want to celebrate India’s diverse landscapes through flavours and craftsmanship. Every cocktail has a story — drawn from a place, a memory, or an emotion — and I can’t wait to share that experience with Kolkata”.

Commenting on this occasion, Ms. Shivani Kochhar, Hotel Manager, Taj City Centre Newtown, Kolkata, said, “We are thrilled to have Rajni Gill – The Spitired Woman at Shamiana to raise the spirits with her delightful libations laced with engaging anecdotes. The stage is set for her to takeover and showcase the perfect concoction of story-telling with finest ingredients infused with choicest of beverages.”
