Cocktails
Rick’s, the lounge bar at The Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi is back with vinegar cocktails.

Bars across the globe are using shrubs, which are vinegar-based syrups infused with fruit and spices, in cocktails. One can choose from the cocktails like the old fashioned, the classic vinegar martini, mint julep, orange caprioska and the classic Rick’s vinegar sling. On till July 15 from 4 p.m. to 12.30 a.m. Priced at Rs.850 plus taxes per cocktail.
