In India, one of the largest whisky-consuming nations in the world, not just Indian whisky but whisky cocktails too are having a moment. As more and more millennials are willing to experiment with their drinks, bartenders and mixologists are creating whisky cocktails with Indian spices, coffee, tea and chocolate. “We see people experimenting with fruity flavours and even sugar-free, organic alternatives in cocktails are in demand,” says Tony Fernandes, mixologist, JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu.
