Innovative and experimental is what describes the current bar of India. According to the 2025 cocktail report, the Indians are already on the way to take a new wave of cocktails.
Not only this, but bartenders and mixologists are increasingly attracted to inspiration (70%) from culinary sources. Imagine a pepper from a cocktail, an icy that was sitting on the edge of your glass, or a clear riches that adorns a marvelous gin. There is no restriction in creativity when it comes to couples today, and the food becomes part of the drink itself.
culinary sense of smell
Delhi’s Bomba has a cocktail and a tapas menu, which presents small plates filled with flavors. A star drink, Hottie, is a bold mixture of tequila, hot honey and lime. “The snack is waiting for more focused experience today when it comes to cocktails.

Taste Popes and Latin inspiration
Searching for new toppings to complete the drink is equally about playfulness as a blow. Deepak, Chief Chief Mestizo, Delhi, tells us: “Guests are waiting for more than a good cocktail. They are excited about the unexpected combinations: Curry syrup in a cocktail, or a skewed in acute Tequi Gua. They want a contrast, theater and something to talk about.” One of the cases in the diner is Fuego Sagrado with the Ranchara-Tam ribs, where the tucked rum and tamarind reflect notes of smoky glaze on the pig ribs. “
causing memory and culture
In Delhi’s Call Me Ten, cocktails call for exciting experiences. For example, their menu includes Tom yum, a bright mixture of Kafir gin, hoggal, lemon herb and ginger honey, served with a delicate rice crisp to reiterate the comforting warmth of their namesake soup. Tirreti Bazaar, inspired by the Chinese-Japanese neighborhood of Calcutta, combines Pandan, Vasabi, Masab and Mishti Doy-Introduced Misti’s cone for extra goodies and legs of the texture.
