With the food and drink on offer, Christmas and New Year make December the most exciting time of the year because you get to feast on roast chicken, pork vindaloo, stuffed turkey and more. Often paired with different kinds of alcohol that more often than not oscillates between spiced rum, whiskey and mulled wine, the last of which is often the most popular choice because it is loved by one and all. However, this festive season, Indian mixologists and bartenders want you to make a change. They want you to spice it up while using different kinds of wines as your star ingredient to make unique cocktails that are full of flavour in every sip.
Every year, Christmas and New Year bring with them a different kind of festive cheer that is felt even more because of the winter season. It is also the time when many of us want to cook and plan our parties so that we can host our family and friends in our houses. If you have always hosted parties, it may often get challenging when deciding the menu for the food and drink. While some dishes and drinks are classics, there is always room for experiments, and what better time than now to do it?
