5 Winter Cocktail & The Right Barware For Them
Winters are amazing- because the nip in the air- especially in India- is a welcoming change. This is the season of weddings, parties, and general festivities and parties. Unless you are a teetotaller, trying your hand at making different cocktails can be a good skill in your hosting repertoire.
Always serving the same old whiskey and rum- whether it is on the rocks or with sprite can be monotonous. With the Covid scare far from over- house parties are all the more rage. Impress everyone while churning out some delicious cocktails right from your kitchen.
