On World Gin Day today, we bring you creations that champion the spirit, and present it in a new avatar

Spice bazaar gin & tonic
Move over craft beer and flavoured vodka, gin is the new cool kid on the block this summer. In its latest makeover, the spirit has shed its former avatar of a somewhat medicinal drink to embrace its true identity as a spirit hailed for its ability to effortlessly mutate into much more. Mixologists too have taken to gin with unparalleled gusto — from quirky cocktails and innovative spins on classics to elaborate dessert-themed concoctions, there's no dearth of ways in which you can raise a toast to gin while out and about in Mumbai. Here's presenting some of the most interesting iterations you can sample in the city.
Spice bazaar gin & tonic is an ode to the diversity of Mumbai, as exemplified by the spices used by the communities that call this city their home. "This gin-and-tonic takes you back to the spice markets of India. Shaken with black pepper, cardamom, curry leaves and star anise, this aromatic drink uses locally-sourced Strangers and Sons gin. It is topped with artisanal tonic water," says manager Deepen Kanwar.
