This Thursday, Slow Tide — a restaurant built at the spot of a 1960s shack named San Francisco celebrates Goa’s hippie culture with its food and alcohol offerings — pops up at Bandra Born for a night with four drinks. We coaxed the beverage manager, Sujan Shetty, to spill some beans.
Tell us about your interpretation of the hippie culture in Anjuna into cocktails.
Sujan Shetty: The drinks draw inspiration from the iconic hippie culture of the ’60s at the Anjuna Commune. They were some of the free-spirited veterans of that era that made Goa famous. Take Acid Eric — inspired by a guy nicknamed Santa Claus for making psychedelic substances at home and distributing it for free — that has tequila, watermelon, yuzu, basil and almond milk to cut the harshness of its taste.
