Roxie, India's premier crafthouse, is excited to introduce "Pickletales," a one-of-a-kind pickle-infused cocktail festival that will transport your taste buds on a zesty and brine-filled culinary adventure. Starting on September 29th, Roxie will curate a tantalizing journey through a unique selection of cocktails that marries the art of mixology with the charm of traditional pickling.
Here are the extraordinary concoctions at Pickletales:
Bloody Ginny: A clandestine creation that traces its roots to the shores of New York, the Bloody Ginny reimagines the classic Bloody Mary with a gin twist. Crafted using gin and clarified Bloody Mary mix, this cold, enigmatic libation is garnished with a baby carrot and celery leaves, rimmed with paprika and salt - a drink fit for a modern-day man's alter-ego
Rajah's Retirement: Helping the drinker transport herself to the colonial era with this clubhouse cocktail, Rajah’s Retirement is a cucumber vodka cooler, kissed by sweet lime pickle and embellished with kaffir kombucha and elderflower syrup, making it the centre of attention at gatherings filled with savoury gossip and scandal
Orchard of Spice: The Orchard of Spice captures the essence of homemade pickles carried on by the winds that sweep through the orchards. It combines apple juice, passionfruit syrup, sweet lime pickle-washed vodka and jalapeno brine, creating a storm in the glass and turning the bar into an altar of flavour
Marine Drive Martini: Paying homage to Bombay's iconic Marine Drive, this cocktail is a midnight remedy for heartache. A blend of gin, mixed pickle brine, and tonic creates a shimmery blue concoction that mirrors the city's love stories, often beginning at its captivating shoreline
K-Pickle Mingle: Journey back to Seoul in the 90s with this unique blend of whisky, litchi, lime, cranberry juices, kimchi brine, and mustard honey, delivering a sour and umami-packed experience
Applecombie: Inspired from the Amalfi bay, Applecombie is complex concoction reminiscent of a honeycomb, this renegade recipe combines gin, apple juice, pickle brine, apple honey, and soda garnished with Apple Pie
Banderillas: White rum sails alongside pineapple, lime, and passionfruit juices with a dash of jalapeno brine. Like the tempestuous seas, this cocktail offers an electrifying blend of spice and passion.
Roxie's Pickletales festival promises an enchanting fusion of flavours, where every sip tells a unique story. Starting at INR 495, the cocktail festival goes on until the 31st of October.
