Parsi punchlines

Transforming from the Colonial era to retro-era feel, we wanted to infuse the feel of the permit room of old Bombay. We devised eight cocktails that tapped into elements of nostalgia from the Campa Cola, the bootleggers of the docks to the Parsi staples. Batliwala is a throwback and homage to Pallonji’s, the original Bombay-soda. It was the first Indian cola, in many ways, and has since become a unique feature of the city’s culinary landscape. We designed a low-alcohol cocktail with gin as the base. We used the carbonation process to give it the fizz, while adding the raspberry’s tart to spark the nostalgia with the signature Pallonji flavour. All our cocktails are based on a certain nostalgia from the lost past of Bombay.
